The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of motion observation training with mirror neurons on cognitive function and daily life.
A total of 20 stroke patients were recruited from Chungdam Hospital. Each patient was assigned to an experimental or a control group. The experimental group received both motion observation training and general rehabilitation treatment, whereas the control group received general rehabilitation treatment. The intervention time was 30-min assessment in five sessions weekly for 8 weeks. To examine the changes before and after treatment, outcomes were assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination Modified-K (MMSE-K), K-Barthel Index (K-MBI), and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA).
After 8 weeks of intervention, the MMSE-K (p=0.040), K-MBI (p=0.032), and FMA (p=0.016) scores significantly improved in the motion observation training group compared with those in the control group.
As a result, motion observation instruction using mirror neurons was more helpful in recovering cognitive function and activities of daily life than general rehabilitation treatment after stroke.
