Result : The result of this study that we found out that all participation’s upper extremity function had been improved during the intervention and sustained during baseline regression. Applying mirror therapy program include visual illusion group more improved trend line during the intervention, visual illusion group, it had been shown there are higher difference between visual illusion group and non-visual illusion group in upper extremity functions.
