Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mirror therapy (MT) alongside comprehensive treatment for stroke patients and its impact on their functional abilities.
- A controlled trial involving 60 stroke inpatients used various measures like the Functional Index "Repty" (FIR) and Frenchay Arm Test (FAT) to track changes in independence and hand function.
- Results showed that mirror therapy significantly improved hand function, particularly among older patients, suggesting that MT is beneficial when combined with other treatments.
