Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to compare treatment efficacy of mirror therapy MT mirror therapy combining mesh glove MGMT stimulation and controlled treatment CT in people with stroke
Detailed Description:
55 to 75 of people after stroke have a paretic arm that causes motor impairment Among novel rehabilitation interventions MT was found to be beneficial and comparatively low-cost MT reduced motor impairment possibly in part of recruiting the premotor cortex or balancing the neural activation within the primary motor cortex toward the affected hemisphere However the benefits in certain aspects of outcomes are under debate Another treatment MG can be used to normalize muscle tone suppress muscle spasticity enhance residual volitional activity of hand and arm or even increasing walking speed In addition providing MG stimulation might result in plastic changes in the primary motor cortex and induced a long-lasting modulated effect on motor cortical excitability The possible mechanism of brain plasticity underlying MG is collective with the mechanism behind the MT Adding MG to MT might augment the cortical reorganization In sum combining MT with MG may supplement the disadvantage or uncertain effects of MT and broaden the benefited outcomes
