Summary

Patients with upper limb hemiplegia after stroke, who were admitted in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, were enrolled. The study lasted 30 days for each participant. The patients enrolled were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group, all under routine rehabilitation therapy. Additionally, the patients in the experimental group were given modified mirror therapy. On day 1 and day 30, patients' Upper Limb function were compared.

Conditions

  • Hemiparesis

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

routine rehabilitation therapy

The Participants with stable vital signs were scheduled for specialized rehabilitation training upon enrollment, and targeted rehabilitation programs were selected based on the patient's specific limb function impairment, conducted by experienced rehabilitation therapists.

BEHAVIORAL

Modified mirror therapy

The patients were instructed to watch the recorded video and imitate the movements of their affected limbs. After the video ended, only the instructions and synchronized music were played. The patient was required to sit in front of a mirror table, with the mirror placed between both arms and facing the healthy side. The patient was required to recall the video based on the verbal instructions while using the healthy side to perform movement training. They were also asked to observe the reflected motion of the healthy limb in the mirror, simultaneously imagining the affected limb moving in sync (the patient focused on the front of the mirror, avoiding direct eye contact with the healthy hand, to create the sensation that it was the affected hand performing the movements).
