Mirror therapy for involuntary movement due to chronic thalamic hemorrhage: a case report.

Background: Some stroke survivors suffer from involuntary movement, which often disturbs upper-limb function, but there are few effective modality options.

Case Report: A 70-year-old man presented with persisting right-upper-limb hemiballism due to left thalamic hemorrhage ten years before. We provided inpatient rehabilitation, including repetitive-facilitative exercise and task-related training, and prescribed clonazepam from day 5 after admission.
