Official title

Effect of Mirror Therapy Combined With Task- vs. Impairment-oriented Rehabilitation Program in Individuals With Stroke

Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of mirror therapy combined with task- vs. Impairment-oriented rehabilitation programs as novel hybrid approaches in individuals with stroke. Participants will receive mirror therapy combined with the task-oriented rehabilitation program (MTT), mirror therapy combined with the impairment-oriented rehabilitation program (MTI), or task-oriented rehabilitation program combined with the impairment-oriented rehabilitation program (TI) 90 minutes per day, three days per week, for six weeks.

Interventions

  • Behavioral Mirror therapy
    In mirror therapy, a wooden mirror (41×50×33 cm3) will be positioned in the participant's sagittal midplane, blocking the participant's view of the affected arm performance. We will also provide a foldable bed tray table to ensure that the participants focus on the mirror reflection of the less affected arm. The mirror therapy will consist of movement and functional practices.
  • Behavioral Task-oriented approach
    The task-oriented approach will provide both bimanual common-goal and dual-goal tasks for the participants.
  • Behavioral Impairment-oriented approach
    The impairment-oriented approach will focus on the movement components. Arm BASIS or Arm Ability training will be provided based on the severity of the participant's impairment.

Primary outcome measures

  • Fugl-Meyer Assessment [Time frame: Baseline, six weeks, and 3 months after completing the intervention]
  • Revised Nottingham Sensory Assessment [Time frame: Baseline, six weeks, and 3 months after completing the intervention]
  • Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory [Time frame: Baseline, six weeks, and 3 months after completing the intervention]
  • Wolf Motor Function Test [Time frame: Baseline, six weeks, and 3 months after completing the intervention]
Secondary outcome measures (11)
  • Grip and pinch power [Time frame: Baseline, six weeks, and 3 months after completing the intervention]
  • Box and block test [Time frame: Baseline, six weeks, and 3 months after completing the intervention]
  • Ten-meter walk test [Time frame: Baseline, six weeks, and 3 months after completing the intervention]
  • Berg Balance Scale [Time frame: Baseline, six weeks, and 3 months after completing the intervention]
  • Motor Activity Log [Time frame: Baseline, six weeks, and 3 months after completing the intervention]
  • ABILHAND Questionnaire [Time frame: Baseline, six weeks, and 3 months after completing the intervention]
  • Functional independent measure [Time frame: Baseline, six weeks, and 3 months after completing the intervention]
  • Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living Scale [Time frame: Baseline, six weeks, and 3 months after completing the intervention]
  • Stoke Impact Scale [Time frame: Baseline, six weeks, and 3 months after completing the intervention]
  • Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire [Time frame: Baseline, six weeks, and 3 months after completing the intervention]
  • Stroke-Specific Measure of Adherence to Home-based Exercises [Time frame: Six weeks]
