[Effectiveness of mirror therapy and action observation therapy in infantile cerebral palsy: a systematic review].

The aim of this review was to assess the effectiveness of mirror therapy (MT) and action observation therapy (AOT) on upper limb-related body structures, body functions, activity, and involvement in patients with infantile cerebral palsy (ICP). We carried out a systematic review of randomized controlled trials published over the past 10 years, in which MT or AOT was compared to other ICP-directed interventions. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria and we measured their methodological quality using the PEDro scale.
