Action Observation Therapy in Chronic Stroke Via Telerehabilitation
Investigation of the Effect of Action Observation Therapy Via Telerehabilitation Method on Upper Extremity Functions, Daily Living Activities and Quality of Life in Chronic Stroke Patients
調査の概要
詳細な説明
Stroke is defined as a neurological condition caused by focal damage to the central nervous system due to vascular problems such as cerebral infarction, intracerebral or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Stroke is among the leading causes of death and disability worldwide.
Functional impairment in the upper extremities is frequently observed in stroke patients, significantly limiting their grasping and releasing functions, and consequently their daily living activities (ADL) such as eating, drinking, dressing, and self-care. Due to these limitations, stroke patients become dependent to varying degrees, negatively impacting their quality of life. Scientists are conducting various studies to find effective, low-cost, and easily applicable methods that can reduce the effects of stroke, which imposes a significant economic, physical, social, and psychological burden on patients and their families, and improve recovery.
Action Observation Therapy (AOT), which involves observing simple actions frequently used in ADL and then imitating those observed actions, is a rehabilitation approach applied in clinical settings in recent years to improve upper extremity function in the rehabilitation of stroke and various neurological diseases. The neural basis of AOT is the mirror neuron system, which is active not only when observing one's own movements but also when observing others' movements. Studies using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging have shown that mirror neuron activity increases when observing the movements of others. It is stated that observing an action and then trying to imitate it reduces interhemispheric inhibition, and as a result, it activates the primary motor cortex that causes the observed movement, facilitates the execution of the action, eliminates motor function disorders, and allows for the relearning of functions.
Telerehabilitation is the remote delivery of rehabilitation services through telecommunication technology. Telerehabilitation increases the accessibility of physiotherapy interventions in situations where face-to-face rehabilitation is not possible or difficult to access. In stroke patients with a lengthy rehabilitation process, telerehabilitation offers significant advantages, including reduced difficulties in transferring the patient to the healthcare center, shorter travel time, reduced transportation costs, and lower energy costs.
A literature review revealed no studies comparing the effects of AOT delivered via telerehabilitation on upper extremity function, hand skills, daily living activities, and quality of life in patients with chronic stroke compared with conventional physiotherapy.

|
The Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale will be used to assess the quality of life of individuals with stroke.
The higher the total score, the better the quality of life of the individual with stroke.
This scale is scored between 49-245.As the score increases, the quality of life increases.
|
Baseline, five week later (after intervention)
|
|
Dominant side
時間枠：Baseline
|
The "Edinburgh Hand Preference Test" will be used to determine the dominant side used by the patient in daily life.
It will be used to determine which hand the patient uses more in daily life (Score range: -100 to +100; high positive scores indicate right-handedness, high negative scores indicate left-handedness).
|
Baseline
|
|
Upper extremity function
時間枠：Baseline, five week later (after intervention)
|
Evaluation of upper extremity functions (hand-arm) and motor speed will be done with the "Nine-Hole Peg Test".
It is a widely used clinical test that evaluates upper extremity function (hand and arm) and motor performance.
The test consists of nine wooden sticks with a diameter of 9 millimeters (mm) and a standard wooden block with nine holes of 10 mm diameter.
The patient inserts the nine sticks one by one into the nine holes as quickly as possible, placing them randomly into the holes, and then removes them one by one in the same manner.
The timer is started when the first stick is inserted and stopped when the last stick is removed and released from the hand.
The time taken for the patient to insert and remove the sticks is recorded.
A shorter time indicates better upper extremity function.
|
Baseline, five week later (after intervention)
|
|
Functional Independence
時間枠：Baseline, five week later (after intervention)
|
Evaluation of upper extremity functions will be done with the "Functional Independence Scale (FIS)".
The is used to assess the change and development in ADL (Applications for Daily Living) depending on the degree of disability experienced by individuals and rehabilitation programs.
Consisting of a total of 18 items, the FIS is divided into two main subcategories: motor domain (FIS-motor; 13 items) and cognitive domain (FIS-cognitive; 5 items).
All activities are rated on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (requires full assistance during activities) to 7 (performs the activity completely independently).
The total FIS score ranges from 18 to 126 points.
A decrease in the score indicates an increase in the individual's dependence during ADL.
