Objective: To investigate the effect of mirror therapy on the upper extremity function and activities of daily living(ADL) in acute stroke patients.
Methods: 40 stroke patients were randomly divided into mirror therapy group and traditional occupational therapy(OT) group. The K-MMSE, MFT, FMA and K-MBI were used to evaluate cognitive function, upper extremity function and ADL. Both groups participated in traditional occupational therapy for 30 minutes/day, 5 times/week, for 3 weeks. Only mirror therapy additionally participated in mirror therapy for 20 minutes/day, 5 times/week.
Result: Before intervention, both group was not different cognitive function, upper extremity function and ADL. In the mirror therapy group, the MFT, FMA and K-MBI except stair climbing were significantly improved(p<.05). In the traditional OT group, the shoulder, total score of MFT, the shoulder/elbow/forearm, hand(finger), total score of FMA, and K-MBI except stair climbing were significantly improved(p<.05). The shoulder/elbow/forearm, wrist, hand(finger) and total score of FMA were significantly improved in the mirror therapy group more than traditional OT group(p<.05).
Conclusion: It was found that the intervention were positive effect on the upper extremity function and ADL in acute stroke patients not only mirror therapy but also traditional OT. Especially, additional mirror therapy has more effect on the upper extremity function. So, when the intervention is applied to acute stroke patients, we could be considered mirror therapy.
