Brief Summary:
The specific study aims will be:
1. To examine the treatment effects of a new digital mirror therapy (MT) system versus a mirror box in patients with stroke by conducting a 4-group randomized controlled trial.
2. To examine the electrophysiological mechanisms of uni-mirror visual feedback (uni-MVF) condition with unimanual training mode, uni-MVF condition with bimanual training mode, and bi-MVF condition with bimanual training mode in the new MT system by EEG.
Detailed Description:
Part I: Validation of Treatment Efficacy of the New Digital MT System with Different MVF Conditions and Training Modes
In this new MT system, 3 different types of MT in different MVF conditions and training modes can be provided: unilateral MVF with unimanual training mode (UM-UT), unilateral MVF with bimanual training mode (UM-BT), and bilateral MVF with bimanual training mode (BM-BT). In the part Ⅰ study, an estimated total of 80 patients with stroke will be recruited. In addition to the original rehabilitation interventions of patients, each participant will be randomly allocated to 1 of 4 intervention groups (i.e., UM-UT, UM-BT, BM-BT, or traditional MT using a mirror box) for 15-hour therapy sessions. Outcome measures will be administrated at pre-treatment, immediately after treatment, and at 1-month follow-up after treatment.
Part II: Investigation of the Electrophysiological Mechanisms Underlying Different MVF Conditions by EEG
Twenty stroke patients will be recruited for examining the brain electrophysiological mechanisms underlying different types of MVF and training conditions of this new system by using electroencephalography (EEG). Three experimental conditions, including UM-UT, UM-BT, and BM-BT conditions, will be conducted in the EEG study.
