The Effect of ıntensified Sensory-based Therapy on Upper Extremity Functions and Activities of Daily Living

Used to evaluate participants' self-perceived satisfaction with performance. In this structured interview, participants are asked to select 5 tasks to perform and then rate their satisfaction of how well they are able to complete each task on a scale of 1 (unsatisfied) to 10 (completely satisfied). Total scores are an mean of individual task scores and also range from 1 (unsatisfied) to 5 (completely satisfied). Collected data will be used to measure changes within and between groups on self-perceived satisfaction with performance between week 1 and 8, week 1 and 3.

Used to evaluate participants' self-perceived functional performance. In this structured interview, participants are asked to select 5 tasks to perform and then rate their perception of how well they are able to complete each task on a scale of 1 (unable to perform) to 10 (able to perform extremely well). Total scores are an mean of individual task scores and also range from 1 (unable to perform tasks) to 5 (able to perform tasks extremely well). Collected data will be used to measure changes within and between groups on self-perceived performance between week 1 and 3.

The JTHFT is a common and detailed clinical assessment for fine motor skills with weighted and non-weighted hand functions. The test is derived from activities of daily routine and consists of writing a standardized sentence, turning over 5 cards, picking up and replacing small objects; simulated eating using a spoon and 5 kidney beans, stacking 4 draughts pieces on a board, turning over 5 large empty tins and turning over 5 full tins.

The Modified Frenchay Scale (MFS) measures active upper limb function in hemiparesis based on a video review of 10 everyday living tasks, each rated on a 10-point visual analogic scale. Six tasks are bimanual and four are unimanual performed with the paretic hand. We will measured intra- and inter-rater reliability of MFS in hemiparetic patients among trained raters.

The Stroke Specific Quality Of Life scale (SS-QOL) is a patient-centered outcome measure intended to provide an assessment of health-related quality of life specific to patients with Stroke.

To assess the quality of life of stroke patients, Williams et al. The Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale (SSQOL) created by the Institute will be used. The SSQOL consists of 12 subsections, including energy, family roles, language, mobility, mood, personality, self-care, social roles, thinking, upper extremity function, vision and work/productivity, and a total of 49 questions; It is graded with a Likert-type scoring ranging from 1 to 5.

Patients can easily recognize when their eyes are closed; 12 objects including water bottle, glass, scissors, paper, key, pen, glove, ruler, telephone, ball, fork and spoon were evaluated according to their naming. Patients will be evaluated in 2 groups as normal recognizing 7-12 objects and decreased recognizing 7 or less objects.

By looking at the patient's ability to distinguish up and down passive movement of the proximal thumb joint while his eyes are closed; decreased and will be considered normal.

The patient was asked to localize the affected side with his good hand while his eyes were closed; decreased and will be considered normal.

GAS served as the primary outcome measure. Once a patient has identified a goal area, GAS goals are established using a 5-point scale, with ''0'' reflecting a score indicating the patient met his or her goal as expected; scores of +1 or +2 indicate surpassing the desired goal, and -1 or -2 indicate inadequate goal attainment. Each potential score (i.e. -2, -1, 0, +1, +2) is based on a criterion that is established collaboratively with the patient and is measurable and specific.
