Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
For muscle reeducation, NMES is used to strengthen inhibited muscle groups, facilitate voluntary isolated muscle contraction, prevent muscle atrophy, increase metabolism and enzyme activity, change the contractile properties of the muscle, maintain or increase the normal range of motion of the joint, develop voluntary movement and functional gains. NMES has been used in hemiplegia rehabilitation since 1960 for the purpose of functional retraining of muscles. The purpose of this treatment is to enable the muscles with impaired neural function of the electrical current to perform a functional and useful movement.
Applications in front of the mirror are thought to trigger the neuronal connections in the motor cortex associated with the imagined movement. Findings obtained from studies with functional magnetic resonance support this theory. Compared to conventional PR, applications in front of the mirror are thought to have more and longer-lasting effects.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group Mirror
Along with conventional rehabilitation techniques, patients will be given ROM exercises in all directions, in front of the real mirror, by the practitioner on the healthy upper extremity for 30 minutes.
Group Mirror
For 30 minutes, ROM exercises will be applied to the solid upper extremity in all directions in front of a real mirror by the practitioner. (3 weeks, 5 days a week, 15 sessions in total)
Group NMES
Along with conventional rehabilitation techniques, NMES will be applied to the hemiplegic arm for 30 minutes by the practitioner while the patients are sitting in a chair.
Group NMES
NMES will be applied to the hemiplegic arm(deltoid, elbow extensors and forearm) for 30 minutes by the practitioner (3 weeks, 5 days a week, 15 sessions in total)
Group Mirror+NMES
In addition to conventional rehabilitation techniques, patients will be given ROM exercises for 30 minutes in all directions in front of the real mirror to the healthy extremity, which the practitioner will synchronize with visual or auditory stimuli, and NMES treatment for 30 minutes to the paretic upper extremity.
Group Mirror+NMES
The practitioner will be synchronized with visual or auditory stimuli, and ROM exercises in all directions in front of the real mirror for 30 minutes, and NMES therapy for 30 minutes on the paretic upper extremity will be applied together. (3 weeks, 5 days a week, 15 sessions in total)
