Detailed Description
Cerebrovascular diseases are the general name given to clinical neurological pictures that occur as a result of pathological changes in the blood vessels of the primary lesion and / or in the properties of the blood passing through them. Many complications develop in the acute and chronic periods in patients with stroke, and the rate of complication development has been reported to vary between 40-96% in different studies. The aim of hemiplegic upper extremity rehabilitation is to prevent complications and improve lost motor-sensory control. Upper limb rehabilitation is less successful than lower limb rehabilitation because the upper limb is more functional and more complex.
For muscle reeducation, NMES is used to strengthen inhibited muscle groups, facilitate voluntary isolated muscle contraction, prevent muscle atrophy, increase metabolism and enzyme activity, change the contractile properties of the muscle, maintain or increase the normal range of motion of the joint, develop voluntary movement and functional gains. NMES has been used in hemiplegia rehabilitation since 1960 for the purpose of functional retraining of muscles. The purpose of this treatment is to enable the muscles with impaired neural function of the electrical current to perform a functional and useful movement.
Applications in front of the mirror are thought to trigger the neuronal connections in the motor cortex associated with the imagined movement. Findings obtained from studies with functional magnetic resonance support this theory. Compared to conventional PR, applications in front of the mirror are thought to have more and longer-lasting effects.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Group Mirror
Along with conventional rehabilitation techniques, patients will be given ROM exercises in all directions, in front of the real mirror, by the practitioner on the healthy upper extremity for 30 minutes.
|
For 30 minutes, ROM exercises will be applied to the solid upper extremity in all directions in front of a real mirror by the practitioner.
(3 weeks, 5 days a week, 15 sessions in total)
Other Names:
|
Active Comparator: Group NMES
Along with conventional rehabilitation techniques, NMES will be applied to the hemiplegic arm for 30 minutes by the practitioner while the patients are sitting in a chair.
|
NMES will be applied to the hemiplegic arm(deltoid, elbow extensors and forearm) for 30 minutes by the practitioner (3 weeks, 5 days a week, 15 sessions in total)
Other Names:
|
Active Comparator: Group Mirror+NMES
In addition to conventional rehabilitation techniques, patients will be given ROM exercises for 30 minutes in all directions in front of the real mirror to the healthy extremity, which the practitioner will synchronize with visual or auditory stimuli, and NMES treatment for 30 minutes to the paretic upper extremity.
|
The practitioner will be synchronized with visual or auditory stimuli, and ROM exercises in all directions in front of the real mirror for 30 minutes, and NMES therapy for 30 minutes on the paretic upper extremity will be applied together.
(3 weeks, 5 days a week, 15 sessions in total)
