Purpose The present study aimed to examine the effects of a home exercise program using video observation on the motor skills of chronic stroke patients. Methods A total of twelve chronic stroke patients were selected as research subjects, and were divided into two groups of six: a videoobserved group and a selfexercise group. A videoobserved exercise program was performed for 30 minutes, five times a week for four weeks, and the balance of the subjects was measured before and after administering the BT4, BBS, 10MWT, DGI and ABC scale. Results In the BT4, the videoobserved group showed an increase in limits of stability and a significant difference was found between the groups (p<0.05), and moreover, a significant difference between the groups was observed in the DGI (p<0.05). However, there were no significant differencesfound between the groups during the BBS, 10MWT, ABC scale (p>0.05). Conclusion The videoobserved home exercise program is effective in improving the subjects’ balance and motor skills and builds their confidence to carry out daily activities. Therefore, action observation training is thought to be effective as home exercise program for chronic stroke patients and should be considered as a longterm rehabilitation program.
