Objective: To evaluate of the effects of mirror therapy on the upper extremity function in acute stroke patients.
Method: 30 acute stroke patients were divided into the experimental group(n=15) or control group(n=15). Both groups participated in a standard occupational therapy for 30 minutes/day, 5 times/week, for 3 weeks. But only experimental group additionally participated in mirror therapy for 20 minutes/day. The K-MMSE FMA, MFT, and BBT were used to assess the cognitive and upper extremity function.
Results: In the experimental group, the shoulder items, grasp items and total score of MFT, the shoulder/elbow/forearm items, wrist items, hand(finger) items and total score of FMA were significantly improved. In the control group, the shoulder items, total score of MFT, and the shoulder/elbow/forearm items, hand(finger) items, total score of FMA were significantly improved. The shoulder items, total score of MFT, and the shoulder/elbow/forearm items, total score of FMA were improved in the experimental group more than control group.
Conclusions: The standard occupational therapy and mirror therapy are effective intervention for upper extremity function in acute stroke patients. Especially, additional mirror therapy is more effect on the upper extremity function.
