Sponsor's own description
Background: Due to the complexity of the interventions in recovering the upper limb, at the moment there is a lack of evidence about the efficacy of rehabilitative interventions. Action Observation Training (AOT) constitutes a promising rehabilitative method to improve upper limb motor recovery in stroke patients. Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of AOT both on upper limb recovery and on functional outcome when compared to patients treated with the task oriented training (TOT). Both treatments were added to traditional rehabilitative treatment.
