“…More than ten upper limb outcome measures were used in all the studies. Fifteen studies [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] used Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) for body structure/function domain. Four studies investigated sensory function using Nottingham Sensory Assessment (NSA) and Semmes Weinstein monofilament test [17,[19][20][21].…”

“…Four studies investigated sensory function using Nottingham Sensory Assessment (NSA) and Semmes Weinstein monofilament test [17,[19][20][21]. Six out of thirteen studies [15,21,23,25,27,28] used the Box and Block Test (BBT) for activity domain outcome measures, and six studies [15,[21][22][23][24]28] used Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Three studies measured the activity domain using the ABILHAND measure and Motor Activity Log (MAL) and found that MT had no significant effect on these measures [16,26,27].…”

Background. Mirror therapy (MT) has been used as a treatment for various neurological disorders. Recent application of electroencephalogram (EEG) to the MT study allows researchers to gain insight into the changes in brain activity during the therapy. Objective. This scoping review is aimed at mapping existing evidence and identifying knowledge gaps about the effects of MT on upper limb recovery and its application for individuals with chronic stroke. Methods and Materials. A scoping review through a systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Scopus databases. Twenty articles published between 2010 and 2020 met the inclusion criteria. The efficacy of MT on upper limb recovery and brain activity during MT were discussed according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Results. A majority of the studies indicated positive effects of MT on upper limb recovery from the body structure/functional domain. All studies used EEG to indicate brain activation during MT. Conclusion. MT is a promising intervention for improving upper limb function for individuals with chronic stroke. This review also highlights the need to incorporate EEG into the MT study to capture brain activity and understand the mechanism underlying the therapy.

“…The results of our study are supported by another study conducted in Malaysiain 2020. That study stated that Mirror therapy along with conventional treatment is effective to restore the upper limb motor function 17 . This study is supported by a study conducted in Hong Kong, according to that study mirror therapy is more effective than bilateral arm training in improving the motor function of stroke patients 18 .…”

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of mirror therapy and motor relearning program for improving the upper limb motor function in stroke patients. Study Design: A randomized control trial with registration number IRCT20200316046791N1 (IRCT). Place and Duration of Study: Al-Noor Hospital and Al Jannat Medicare, Rahim Yar Khan Pakistan, from Jan to Jul 2020. Methodology: Sample size consisted of 30 patients recruited by convenient sampling. Patients were randomized into two groups. Both groups received 5 sessions a week for 6 weeks. Group A received Motor Relearning Program while the treatment of group B was Mirror Therapy. Motor part of Fugl Meyer Assessment was used as an outcome measure. Non parametric Friedman test was used for within group analysis, while for between group analyses Karuskal-Wallis test was used. Results: The total participants who suffer from left hemiplegia were 22 whereas the patients having right hemiplegia were 8. The mean age of participants in both groups was 53.80 ± 7.6 group A median (interquartile range) at pre-assessment was 5.00 (3) at mid-assessment median=15.00 (4) while at post assessment median was 25.00 (6). Group B median at baseline was 6.00 (4), at mid-assessment median=14.00 (9), post assessment median was 17.00 (13). Mid and post assessment comparison showed both treatments improved the motor function. Statistically the results were non-significant (p>0.005). Both treatments improved the motor function in stroke patients. Conclusion: There is no significant difference between the effectiveness of Mirror Therapy and Motor relearning program in improving the upper limb motor function of stroke patients.

“…Stroke related spasticity can occur in extremities, thereby reducing functionality and increasing patient dependence 1 . Lower extremity spasticity, particularly in the ankle plantar flexor muscles, causes instability, impairs ambulation and may cause knee pain due to the hyperextension of the knee 2 .…”

Objective: Radial shock wave therapy (RSWT) has increasingly been utilized in the treatment of spasticity recently. The purpose of the current study is to assess the effectiveness of RSWT in the treatment of ankle plantar flexor muscles spasticity of stroke patients by pedobarography and clinical evaluation. Materials and Methods: A total of 23 stroke patients were enrolled into the study. Patients received an initial sham treatment of RSWT, followed by three separate interventional sessions received one week apart. Treatment success was assessed using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), ankle passive range of motion (pROM) measurement and pedobarography. Results and Discussion: No significant change was observed in clinical and pedobarographic values following sham RSWT. In the intervention group, however, MAS decreased from3.34±0.7 to 2.39±0.89 after a single RSWT session and to 2.04±0.92 first week and to 2.52±0.89 fourth week after three RSWT sessions. As a result of the study, heel peak pressure and total plantar contact area were improved. In particular, three RSWT sessions were more effective than single RSWT session. Conclusions: We observed a significant improvement in plantar flexor spasticity in stroke patients after both a single and three RSWT sessions and this improvement persisted during the four-week study period.
