      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The grouping will be done by a simple random method of coin toss and the patients will be randomly divided into two control and intervention groups by tap or line method and will be treated in each group according to the specific method of that group.</study_design>
      <phase>N/A</phase>
      <hc_freetext>Stroke.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: The tool used in this study is the Sana virtual reality system, which provides the ability to perform exercises in different fields of rehabilitation. The system used, has a  Kinect camera (it is a motion detection system based on photography) that records motion data from the patient's limb movements and then analyzes the motion data by a pre-processing unit. It also uses a 32-inch monitor that has been trained to show the virtual space to the patient and provide appropriate audio and visual feedback in each exercise. Intervention group: The participants will be treated 3 days a week and every other day for 10 sessions. In the specific therapeutic exercise, each exercise will be done in three sets of ten. In addition to receiving electrotherapy and general therapeutic exercise, the intervention group will perform specific therapeutic exercise using virtual reality, 10 sessions of each exercise in three sets of ten. Functional tests related to the study once before the treatment and once after 10 treatment sessions will be taken from people and the results will be compared. Specific therapeutic exercises include: trunk control exercises, weight shifting, bearing weight on the non-affected limb and bringing the knee of the affected limb to the desired goal, bearing weight on the affected limb and bringing the leg of the other limb to the desired goal and bringing the hand and foot of the affected side alternately to the intended target. Intervention 2: Control group: The participants will be treated 3 days a week and for 10 sessions every other day. The control group will receive 10 conventional physiotherapy sessions including electrotherapy, general therapeutic exercise and specific therapeutic exercise. In the specific therapeutic exercise, each exercise will be done three sets of ten .Specific therapeutic exercises include: trunk control exercises, weight shifting, bearing weight on the non-affected limb and bringing the knee of the affected limb to the desired goal, bearing weight on the affected limb and bringing the leg of the other limb to the desired goal and bringing the hand and foot of the affected side alternately to the intended target.</i_freetext>
