“…A critical appraisal of the study designs resulted in 4 studies being categorized as Level I evidence (Page, 2000;Page, Levine, & Leonard, 2005Page, Levine, Sisto, & Johnston, 2001b), 2 as Level II (Dijkerman, Ietswaart, Johnston, & MacWalter, 2004;Müller, Bütefisch, Seitz, & Hömberg, 2007), 1 as Level III (Simmons, Sharma, Baron, & Pomeroy, 2008), 6 as Level IV (Butler & Page, 2006;Crosbie, McDonough, Gilmore, & Wiggam, 2004;Hewett, Ford, Levine, & Page, 2007;Page, Levine, & Hill, 2007;Stevens & Phillips Stoykov, 2003;Yoo, Park, & Chung, 2001), and 2 as Level V (Gaggioli, Meneghini, Morganti, Alcaniz, & Riva, 2006;Page, Levine, Sisto, & Johnston, 2001a).…”

OBJECTIVE. We sought to determine whether mental practice is an effective intervention to improve upper-limb recovery after stroke. METHOD. We conducted a systematic review of the literature, searching electronic databases for the years 1985 to February 2009. We selected studies according to specified criteria, rated each study for level of evidence, and summarized study elements. RESULTS. Studies differed with respect to design, patient characteristics, intervention protocols, and outcome measures. All studies used imagery of tasks involving movement of the impaired limb. The length of the interventions and number of practice hours varied. Results suggest that mental practice combined with physical practice improves upper-limb recovery. CONCLUSION. When added to physical practice, mental practice is an effective intervention. However, generalizations are difficult to make. Further research is warranted to determine who will benefit from training, the dosing needed, the most effective protocols, whether improvements are retained, and whether mental practice affects perceived occupational performance.

“…Research demonstrates the need for continual growth for this type of therapy based on the observed benefits. Improvements such as enhanced fluidity of movement patterns, ability to carry out daily activities, pain reduction, improved grasp, and maintenance were demonstrated to extend beyond 6 mo of treatment [17][18][19][20]. Another recent study using mirror therapy, published by Lee et al in 2012, noted improvements in Fugl-Meyer Assessment scores for shoulder, elbow, and hand, as well as improvement in the Manual Function Test scores for shoulder and hand items [21].…”

Abstract-Deficiencies in upper-limb motor function and executive functioning can compromise an affected individual's ability to complete everyday activities. Impaired motor and executive functioning therefore pose a risk to increasing numbers of veterans who have been diagnosed with acquired brain injury. This article reports on changes in upper-limb motor function and executive functioning of 12 adult participants with chronic acquired brain injury using a novel, computer-based, motor and cognitive rehabilitation program called PreMotor Exercise Games (PEGs). Manual muscle, goniometric range of motion, and dynamometer assessments were used to determine motor functioning while the Executive Function Performance Test measured cognitive functioning. A three-level repeated measures design was conducted to determine changes pre-and postintervention. Participants demonstrated significant improvement in shoulder (p = 0.01) and wrist (p = 0.01) range of motion and clinically relevant improvement for elbow range of motion. Participants demonstrated clinically relevant improvement in shoulder, elbow, and wrist strength. Finally, participants demonstrated significant improvement in executive functioning (p < 0.05). Using PEGs as a modality for both motor and cognitive intervention is a potentially beneficial adjunct to rehabilitation and warrants further study.

“…In a randomized crossover study of 9 chronic stroke patients, Altschuler et al [15] reported that range of motion (ROM), speed, and accuracy of arm movement were more improved after mirror therapy. Stevens and Stoykov [16] also reported that two stroke patients trained with mirror therapy for 3 to 4 weeks, and had an increase in Fugl-Meyer Assessment score, active ROM, movement speed, and hand dexterity, after mirror therapy.…”

The aim of the present study was to examine whether mirror therapy, in conjunction with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), can improve the upper extremity function of stroke patient. This study was conducted with 35 subjects, who were diagnosed as a hemiparesis by stroke. The Mirror plus rTMS group was of 12 members who undertook mirror therapy in conjunction with rTMS, the Mirror group was of 11 members who undertook mirror therapy, and the control group was of 12 members who undertook sham therapy. A motor cortex excitability was performed by motor evoked potential, and upper limb function was evaluated by Fugl-Meyer Assessment, and Box and Block Test. Significant difference was shown after the experiment, in comparison of the groups in terms of latency, and as the result of post hoc test, significant difference was shown between the Mirror plus rTMS group and control group, and between the Mirror group and control group, respectively. Significant difference was shown after the experiment in comparison of the groups in amplitude, and as the result of post hoc test, significant difference was shown between the Mirror plus rTMS group and Mirror group, and between the Mirror plus rTMS group and control group. Significant difference was shown after the experiment, in comparison of the groups in FMA and BBT, and as the result of post hoc test, significant difference was shown between the Mirror plus rTMS group and Mirror group, and between the Mirror group and control group. The study showed that mirror therapy in conjunction with rTMS is more effective to improve upper extremity function, than mirror therapy and sham therapy.
