Interventions
Mirror therapy-based games will be played for 30 minutes every day for eight weeks, three days a week, for the VR group.
Bobath therapy, walking exercises, upper extremity active exercises, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques will be applied three days a week for eight weeks.
In conventional mirror therapy, the unaffected extremities of the individuals will be positioned outside the mirror, while the affected extremities will be placed inside the mirror so that the patient cannot see them. In this way, the image of the intact hand will be transferred to the affected side and activities will be performed three days a week for eight weeks.
For 8 weeks, watching the uninteractive virtual environment for 10 minutes
