Brief Summary

evaluate the effect of mirror therapy on motor recovery and pain of hemiparetic arm post stroke

Conditions

Stroke (CVA) or TIA; Hemiparesis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Motor Function Assessment

  measured by Fugl-Meyer Assessment for upper limb motor function. to describe impairment severity, quantify motor recovery, guide treatment planning, and evaluate outcomes. The scale comprises five domains with a maximum total score of 226 points (Motor 100; Sensation 24; Balance 14; Joint ROM 44; Joint Pain 44). Scoring is based on direct observation of performance. Scale items are scored on the basis of ability to complete the item using a 3-point ordinal scale where 0=cannot perform, 1=performs partially and 2=performs fully. The total possible scale score is 226. Points are divided among the domains as follows: Motor score: ranges from 0 (hemiplegia) to 100 points (normal motor performance). Divided into 66 points for upper extremity and 34 points for the lower extremity. Sensation: ranges from 0 to 24 points. Divided into 8 points for light touch and 16 points for position sense. Balance: ranges from 0 to 14 points. Divided into 6 points for sitting and 8 points for standing.
