Treatments
Experimental: Visual-motor based training and physiotherapy program
The physiotherapy group will take a physiotherapy program for 3 sessions per week, 60 minutes per day, for a total of 8 weeks. The program will consist of functional exercises for trunk, upper and lower extremities.~In addition to the functional exercises individuals will receive visual-motor training targeting the upper extremity. This training will be conducted using the Light Trainer, a branded light-based training system. The light training system consists of 6 laser sensor-equipped blue, red, and green light emitters.The system is operated through a smartphone application.The training will utilize four different games, progressing from easy to difficult: Sequential, random standard, multiple light, and different color. Participants will receive training via a 12-minute session utilizing the Light Trainer device.
Active_comparator: Physiotherapy group
The physiotherapy group will take a physiotherapy program for 3 sessions per week, 60 minutes per day, for a total of 8 weeks.~The program will consist of functional exercises for trunk, upper and lower extremities (same as experimental group).~Functional reaching activities at the table in a sitting position, ball sliding on the wall in a standing position, touching different targets on the wall in a standing position and drawing shapes on the wall in a standing position will also added to the program.
