Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of graded motor imagery training on upper extremity motor function, proprioception, functional mobility, balance and quality of life in patients with obstetric brachial plexus injury in addition to conventional treatment. In this context, our aim is to identify new and potential physiotherapeutic approaches to address deficits in motor planning that have been shown to occur at the level of the central nervous system.

Target number of participants: 40
Treatments
Active_comparator: Conventional Physiotherapy Group
Participants were randomly divided into two arms. Participants in the activate comparator group will be administered traditional physiotherapy approaches applied after obstetric brachial plexus injury by the researcher physiotherapist.
Experimental: Graded Motor Imagery Group
Participants included in the motor imagery group through randomization will receive a progressive motor imagery approach in addition to the conventional physiotherapy treatment received by the first group. All applications are performed by the same physiotherapist.
