Overview
This study is a randomized controlled trial. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Action Observation Therapy in Comparison to a Motor Relearning Program on Balance and Mobility among subacute stroke patients.
Description
Action observation therapy has proven its positive effects in improving functional performance in stroke patients compared to other neurological and musculoskeletal conditions motor relearning program is also very effective in improving functional performance in stroke patients but previous studies have shown individual effects of AOT and MRP but there is no comparison of AOT with MRP on balance and mobility.
as a result, this study aims to contribute new data to the sparse literature on subacute stroke patients.
The research finidings could provide valuable insights into potential benefits, encouraging evidence-based practices.
