Summary

This study aims to compare the effects of mirror therapy combined with either neuromuscular electrical stimulation or binaural beat stimulation on post-stroke lower limb motor function recovery. The study also explores the relationship between patients' cortical excitability and motor function improvement.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Mirror Therapy

Sitting, mirror place at the midline between the legs. Unaffected leg is placed in front of the mirror and perform ankle dorsiflexion exercises. Duration: 5 seconds, Rest: 5 seconds

OTHER

Mirror Therapy + Electrical Stimulation

Same as the mirror therapy protocol. Affected leg: electrical stimulation on tibialis anterior muscle. Frequency: 35 Hz, Pulse width: 250µs, Duration: 5 seconds, Rest: 5 seconds.

OTHER

Mirror Therapy + Binaural Beat

Same as the mirror therapy protocol. Listen to music (pink noise), with 14Hz binaural beat stimulation
