Abstract: (1257 Views)
Background and Aim: Three quarters of strokes occur in the region supplied by the middle cerebral artery. As a consequence, the upper limb will be affected in a large number of patients. Purpose of the study is to examine the effectiveness of mirror therapy in rehabilitation of upper extremity function in sub-acute stroke.
Materials and Methods: In this study, a systematic review of the databases google scholar, pubmed, science direct, Elsevier since 2019 with the keywords mirror therapy, upper extremity, subacute stroke Search is done.
Results: The twelve included studies in this systematic review evaluated the efficacy of mirror therapy for improving upper extremity function in patients post-stroke. Outcomes evaluated include upper extremity function, motor recovery of the upper extremity, and independence in ADLs.
Conclusion: Overall, positive outcomes were found for the use of mirror therapy in patients post-stroke for the following outcomes: Upper extremity function, Motor recovery and Independence in ADLs. Given the positive outcomes, low cost, and low risk associated with mirror therapy, it should be considered as a legitimate therapy option when working with patients post stroke.
