Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of action observation therapy and mirror therapy on upper extremity functions in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. In the study, the 1st group is the Action Observation Therapy group and will receive 18 sessions of practice. The second group is the mirror therapy group and will receive a total of 18 practice sessions. To evaluate the outcome measures of children's upper extremity functions; Canadian Occupational Performance Mesure (COPM), Goal Achievement Scale (GAS), Shriners Hospital Upper Extremity Function Scale (SHUEE), Melbourne Unilateral Upper Extremity Function Evaluation Test and ABILHAND Questionnaire will be used. The satisfaction of the families with the therapy process will be evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
