NCT Number: NCT06489938
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of mirror therapy combined with task- vs. Impairment-oriented rehabilitation programs as novel hybrid approaches in individuals with stroke. Participants will receive mirror therapy combined with the task-oriented rehabilitation program (MTT), mirror therapy combined with the impairment-oriented rehabilitation program (MTI), or task-oriented rehabilitation program combined with the impairment-oriented rehabilitation program (TI) 90 minutes per day, three days per week, for six weeks.

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
In mirror therapy, a wooden mirror (41×50×33 cm3) will be positioned in the participant's sagittal midplane, blocking the participant's view of the affected arm performance. We will also provide a foldable bed tray table to ensure that the participants focus on the mirror reflection of the less affected arm. The mirror therapy will consist of movement and functional practices.
The task-oriented approach will provide both bimanual common-goal and dual-goal tasks for the participants.
The impairment-oriented approach will focus on the movement components. Arm BASIS or Arm Ability training will be provided based on the severity of the participant's impairment.
