The exercises will be performed in sessions lasting 60 minutes, 3 days a week, over 8 weeks.
Mirror+Cognitive Therapy
EXPERIMENTALThe participants in the Mirror+Cognitive Therapy will be given a cognitive task with the application of mirror therapy. Cognitive tasks with mirror therapy will be applied in sessions lasting 60 minutes, 3 days a week, over 8 weeks.
