Effects of mirror therapy on muscle activity, muscle tone, pain, and function in patients with mutilating injuries

Abstract: Background:This study assessed the effectiveness of mirror therapy (MT) on muscle elasticity, pain, and function in patients with mutilating injuries.Methods:Thirty patients with impaired function due to mutilating injuries were assigned randomly to experimental or control group. The experimental group (n = 15) received MT (30 minutes a day, 3 days a week for 4 weeks) and conventional physical therapy after each MT session while the control group (n = 15) only received conventional physical therapy.Results:The… Show more

“…The patients observed the reflection of their unaffected upper limb while performing the following movements (bilateral arm training): wrist flexion, extension, circumduction, radial and ulnar deviation, fisting, releasing, abduction, and adduction of all fingers. Activities were graded during the following weeks of training (37,38).…”
