Summary

The specific aims of this study will be to:

1. investigate the treatment efficacy of Action observation therapy (AOT), mirror therapy (MT) versus a control intervention on motor and functional outcomes of stroke patients.
2. compare the mechanisms and changes in cortical neural activity after AOT, MT, and control intervention by using magnetoencephalography (MEG).
3. determine the correlations between neural activation changes and clinical outcomes after AOT and MT.
4. identify who are the potential good responders to AOT and MT.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Action observation therapy

The patients were asked to observe everyday life actions of which they had motor experience or the actions belong to the motor repertoire of observers', they had better performance. The common categories of motor actions and tasks for stroke patients are selected in this study: (a) active range of motion (AROM) exercises, (b) reaching movement or object manipulation, and (c) upper-extremity (UE) functional tasks practice.

BEHAVIORAL

Mirror therapy

The MT group will receive 60 minutes of upper-limb training in a mirror box. MT treatment activities will include AROM exercises (10 to 15 minutes), reaching movement or object manipulation (15 to 20 minutes), and functional tasks practice (30 minutes) in a mirror box.

BEHAVIORAL

Customary bilateral UE training

The participants in this group will receive dose-matched customary bilateral UE training programs for 1 hour per session. The treatment protocol of control group will also include: (a) AROM exercises (10 to 15 minutes), (b) reaching movement or object manipulation (15 to 20 minutes), and (3) functional tasks practice (30 minutes).
