Article Synopsis
- - Mirror therapy (MT) is common for upper extremity rehabilitation in stroke patients but has limitations, leading to the exploration of a new method called 360° immersive virtual reality-based MT (360MT).
- - A study with 45 chronic stroke patients compared the effectiveness of 360MT with traditional MT and conventional physical therapy, using assessments to measure improvements in upper extremity function and patient satisfaction.
- - Results showed that the 360MT group had significantly better outcomes and higher patient satisfaction compared to the other two groups, suggesting that 360MT could be a more effective rehabilitation strategy for stroke patients.
(1) Background: The present study investigated the agreement between the Azure Kinect and marker-based motion analysis during functional movements. (2) Methods: Twelve healthy adults participated in this study and performed a total of six different tasks including front view squat, side view squat, forward reach, lateral reach, front view lunge, and side view lunge. Movement data were collected using an Azure Kinect and 12 infrared cameras while the participants performed the movements.

Methods: Participants were randomly allocated to one of three groups: mirror therapy using a video augmented wearable reflection device group (MTVADG), n = 12; traditional mirror therapy group (TMTG), n = 12; and control group (CG), n = 12. Participants in the MTVADG and TMTG received conventional rehabilitation in addition to mirror therapy.
Stroke is a major cause of disability and an evident rehabilitation strategy is crucial. Mirror therapy (MT) is one of the popular rehabilitation methods that is known to be effective as the patients benefit from the mirror illusion. However, the patient's attention to the mirror illusion during treatment is unclear.
