Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Self-Action Observation (s-AO Group)<br>Participants will watch their own actions during an upper extremity functionality test. | Other: Action observation Training<br>* Action observation training is a relatively new rehabilitation approach in which the subject is asked to carefully observe the actions presented through a video clip or performed by an operator.<br>|
| Experimental: Action Observation (AO Group)<br>Participants will watch a person while performing an upper extremity functionality test. | Other: Action observation Training<br>* Action observation training is a relatively new rehabilitation approach in which the subject is asked to carefully observe the actions presented through a video clip or performed by an operator.<br>|
| Active Comparator: Action Practice<br>Participants will perform an upper extremity task 4 more times. | Other: Action Practice<br>* Participants perform an upper extremity functionality test a couple of times.<br>|
| Placebo Comparator: Observation<br>Participants will watch a slide show which will only contain landscapes. | Other: Observation<br>* Participants will watch a slide show of landscape<br>|
| No Intervention: Control<br>Participants will wait without any performance till the second assesment. | |
