About this study

Patients who meet the criteria will be informed about the study and volunteers will be included. When initial assessments will be completed, patients will be assigned to one of two possible sequences by simple randomization: study group (SG) or control group (CG).

All volunteers will recieve Bobath training program with the duration of 8 weeks. Additionally, task oriented training will be applied in SG, 5 days a week for 8 weeks.

All patients will be assessed in terms of motor functions and orientation, awareness, spatial perception, visuomotor construction, visual perception, praxis and thinking operations domains of cognitive funtions at the baseline and at the end of the study. Data will be collected from all the patients at baseline and at the end of the study (8 weeks) by the same physiotherapist who also will supervise the exercise sessions.

Treatment and study plan

Task-oriented Training

Behavioral

Task-oriented training will be applied to study group 5 days a week, for a total of 6 weeks, in addition to Bobath training. Task-oriented training will consist of performing the lying, sitting, standing and walking exercises by performing tasks for specific goals. Exercises will be perform by accomplishing tasks such as touching the ball with the upper or lower extremities, reaching for the ball, crossing various tracks to move blocks from one place to another, walking through obstacles or climbing stairs.

Bobath Training

Behavioral

Bobath Concept includes sensory, perceptual and adaptive exercises aimed at improving function through mobilisation, weight-bearing, practicing more normal movement patterns and performing more efficient, less effortful tasks.

Primary outcomes

  1. Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    The Mini Mental State Examination will be used for evaluating cognitive functions.

  2. Dynamic Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment- Geriatric Version (DLOTCA-G)

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    DLOTCA-G is a battery test with a test booklet and test kits including 28 items in seven cognitive domains which are orientation, awareness, spatial perception, visuomotor construction, visual perception, praxis and thinking operations.

  3. Functional Independence Measure (FIM)

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    FIM will be used to assess and rate motor and cognitive functional status in patients with stroke.

  4. Barthel Index (BI)

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    BI will be used to assess motor functions.
