Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to investigate the acute effects of action observation training on upper extremity functionality, reaction times, and cognitive functions in right-handed healthy subjects.

---|---|
Experimental: Self-Action Observation (s-AO Group) Participants will watch their own actions during an upper extremity functionality test. |
Other: Action observation Training
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.

Experimental: Action Observation (AO Group) Participants will watch a person while performing an upper extremity functionality test. |
Other: Action observation Training
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.
|
Active Comparator: Action Practice Participants will perform an upper extremity task 4 more times. |
Other: Action Practice
Participants perform an upper extremity functionality test a couple of times.
|
Placebo Comparator: Observation Participants will watch a slide show which will only contain landscapes. |
Other: Observation
Participants will watch a slide show of landscape
|
No Intervention: Control Participants will wait without any performance till the second assesment. |
