Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Self-Action Observation (s-AO Group)
Participants will watch their own actions during an upper extremity functionality test.
Other: Action observation Training
Action observation training is a relatively new rehabilitation approach in which the subject is asked to carefully observe the actions presented through a video clip or performed by an operator.
Experimental: Action Observation (AO Group)
Participants will watch a person while performing an upper extremity functionality test.
Other: Action observation Training
Action observation training is a relatively new rehabilitation approach in which the subject is asked to carefully observe the actions presented through a video clip or performed by an operator.
Active Comparator: Action Practice
Participants will perform an upper extremity task 4 more times.
Other: Action Practice
Participants perform an upper extremity functionality test a couple of times.
Placebo Comparator: Observation
Participants will watch a slide show which will only contain landscapes.
Other: Observation
Participants will watch a slide show of landscape
No Intervention: Control
Participants will wait without any performance till the second assesment.
