Treatments
Experimental: Action Observation Therapy group
The patients in the action observation therapy group will be required to observe the upper limb movements or functional actions in video clips (i.e., the observation phase) and to execute what they had observed to the best of their ability (i.e., the execution phase.
Experimental: Mirror Therapy Group
During the mirror therapy, the patients were seated in front of a mirror box placed at their midsagittal plane. The affected arm of the participants was placed inside the mirror box, and the unaffected arm was in front of the mirror. The patient was instructed to watch the mirror reflection of the movement performed by his/her unaffected hand carefully and to imagine that the movement was performed by the affected hand.
