Overview
After the selected patients are determined, the researchers of this study need to have full communication with the patients. The location is the rehabilitation ward of our hospital and the time is Before joining the group. During this process, the patient should be informed of the purpose, procedures and processes of the trial. The informed consent form should be signed by the patient himself/herself. Such as the patient Illiterate, the informed consent process was witnessed by an independent witness and signed. The subject pressed their fingerprint at the signature. In the study process fully Listen to and respond to the questions and opinions of the subjects or their representatives.
Interventions
- Device mirror image
Patients will be asked to place the affected hand in the mirror box. While quickly opening and closing the healthy hand, they should observe the reflection of the healthy hand in the mirror and imagine the affected hand doing the same movements. - Behavioral healthy hand movement
Patient will be asked to quickly open and grasp the healthy hand, and keep their eyes on the affected hand.
Primary outcome measures
- fNIRS measured brain activation [Time frame: The measurement of the primary outcome indicators occurred after the patients had received one week of hand function rehabilitation training.]
