Effectiveness Of Mirror Therapy In Motor Recovery Of Post Stroke Hemiplegic Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Currently among therapies available for the upper limbs post stroke rehabilitation, mirror therapy is one of them which have been seen to provide encouraging results. A randomized controlled trial was done to investigate the effectiveness of mirror therapy of the upper limb muscles in motor recovery on 72 post stroke hemiplegic patients in the age group of 35 to 65 years attending PMR department, RIMS, Imphal. Study group was given mirror therapy in addition to the conventional stroke rehabilitation programme. Patients were assessed in terms of motor recovery (Brunnstrom stages) and spasticity (MAS). These indices were measured at 0, 1 and 6 months. Statistically significant difference in motor recovery between the study and control groups was noted; difference between the means as seen at the baseline and after one month of treatment was 1.1±0.38 (study) versus 0.88±0.32 (control). However no significant difference was seen in spasticity between the groups
