What this Trial Is About
This study aims to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessing the effectiveness of combining Action Observation (AO) with Virtual Reality (VR) in improving upper limb function for stroke patients compared to AO therapy alone. Individuals who meet the inclusion criteria will be assigned by lottery into one of two groups: Group A will receive only AO therapy, watching daily actions and then executing them, while Group B will receive both AO and VR therapy, using VR glasses to complete tasks. The Box and Block Test for manual dexterity, the Timed Test, the Modified Ashworth Scale for spasticity, the Rankin Scale for symptom severity, and the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for motor, balance, sensation, and joint function will all be used in the evaluation, both before and after the intervention. Every participant will go through 18 sessions totaling 60
