|
This study was to be conducted to identify the mirror therapy meditation for domestic patients with stroke. From January, 2000 to August, 2012, we searched through KERIS the for essays post in doctoral thesis or academic magazine and mainly used vocabularies such as mirror therapy, mirror meditative therapy and stroke. In aspect of subjects that had participated in each studies, the study with more than twenty subjects was only one and the number of subject of all the other studies was less than twenty, which means level of reasonability was not so high. For research design of each thesis, randomized trial was seven among every research and the other three was non-RCT. In aspect of internal/external justifiability, ten studies were in the middle level of in/external justifiability, and in aspect of efficacy of therapy nine out of ten studies was confirmed to have gained meaningful effect because it matched hypothesis of thesis. However, one study did not gain meaningful change of proprioceptive sense of upper extremity function. The development of motor function of upper extremity had been mentioned in total six studies more than others as it was found efficacious and the development of activities of daily living was second. The other meditative application effect of mirror therapy that was once mentioned is development of motor function of lower extremity, of unilateral neglect, and of ability of muscle, sense of balance, and of walking. The future study is going to obtain more subjects according to such as result and to do some work about continuous medical effect through investigation. The more studies about various medical possibility other than mirror therapy meditation will be required.
