Brief Summary
Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine effects of mirror therapy in restoring hand function in patients with flexor lag following orthopedic injuries. Methods: In a prospective randomized controlled trial, 22 patients with Flexor Lag will be measured. Intervention group will receive mirror therapy, 30-minute a day, 5 days a week for 3-week, as well, half an hour conventional rehabilitation after each mirror therapy session. Patients in the control group will receive the same treatment program, but instead of mirror, they will directly observe the affected hand. Outcome measures including Total Active Motion (TAM), and Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire will be administered before and after the treatment period and 3 weeks after the final treatment session.
