The Effect of ıntensified Sensory-based Therapy on Upper Extremity Functions and Activities of Daily Living
Sensory dysfunction following stroke is a common condition. The deficiency in the somatosensory system negatively affects the learning of new motor skills by preventing feedback from the sensory system, and it can also cause problems in daily life, personal care, productivity, and leisure activities. Somatosensory impairment is often overlooked, as rehabilitation often focuses on motor abilities in the affected extremity. In the studies reviewed, it is stated that sensory dysfunction is seen in approximately 50% of stroke patients. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of intensified sensory-based therapy applied to the affected upper extremity sensory functions in individuals with chronic stroke on the upper extremity functions, quality of life, and independence of daily living activities.
