Investigation of the Effects of Mixed Reality Application on the Upper Extremity in Individuals With Hemiparetic Stroke

The individual performs this test with both their dominant and non-dominant hand. mBBT reflects a direct assessment of individuals' upper extremity functional performance based on the number of blocks transferred from one compartment to the other within 30 seconds. At the end of the time period, the number of blocks transferred to the opposite compartment is recorded.

This test is applied to objectively measure safe walking and turning performance in individuals with lower extremity injuries or balance disorders. The test course is created on the ground in the shape of the letter L. A line is determined, usually consisting of 3 meters of straight walking from the starting point, followed by a 90-degree turn, and then approximately 7 meters of walking again. The corner of the course is the most critical part of the test in terms of evaluating the individual's ability to change direction. During the application, the individual is asked to proceed at a normal and safe walking speed from the starting point, turn at the corner, and complete the course. The test duration is recorded in seconds using a stopwatch.

The test objectively assesses an individual's grasping, holding, carrying, and fine motor skills required for daily living activities. ARAT examines upper extremity function under four subheadings: Grasp, Grip, Pinch (Fine grip), and Gross Movement. The Grasp subtest evaluates the ability to grasp and carry blocks of varying sizes and shapes, while the Grip subtest examines the controlled grasping of smaller objects. Each item is scored between 0 and 3. The total score ranges from 0 to 57. A higher score indicates better upper extremity function.

This scale provides important information about functional mobility by examining trunk stability and selective trunk movements in a seated position. It is evaluated out of a total of 17 points. Subtopics include static, dynamic sitting balance, and coordination.

This is a technology-based measurement and exercise system used to evaluate reaction time, upper and lower extremity function, balance, coordination, and cognitive-motor integration, particularly in stroke patients. Consisting of wireless, illuminated pod devices, this system quantitatively measures performance by assessing motor responses such as touching, reaching, or stepping in response to illuminated stimuli. It offers a more dynamic and task-oriented assessment compared to traditional clinical tests.

It is widely used in rehabilitation to evaluate treatment effectiveness and monitor patient-centered outcomes. The SS-QOL consists of 12 sub-dimensions that assess stroke-specific quality of life. These sub-areas include energy, family roles, language, mobility, mood, personality, self-care, social roles, cognition, upper extremity function, vision, and work/productivity.

The CSQ-8 provides important feedback in determining the client's perception and satisfaction with the treatment process. The CSQ-8 consists of 8 items, each questioning a different aspect of the service provided. The scale includes satisfaction indicators such as the quality of service received, the extent to which expectations are met, suitability to needs, benefit derived from the service, willingness to choose the same service again, and tendency to recommend it to others.
