Mirror therapy may be an effective intervention in increasing motor control and gait performance in patients with stroke.
Using a mirrored image of the uninvolved extremity superimposed upon the involved extremity during exercise may facilitate improved motor control in patients after stroke.

| Functional Independence Measure - Locomotor Score | The Functional Independence Measure (FIM)assesses level of disability and measures progress toward independence with rehabilitational intervention. The tool consists of 18 items. Only the the locomotor score was used to assess gait ability in this study. The locomotor score ranges from 1 - 7 with a higher score indicating a higher level of functional independence. | measured at admission and discharge from rehab estimated length of stay 14 days |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Timed Up and Go | The Timed Up and Go (TUG) is used to assess balance and gait, and to estimate fall risks in patients with deficits. The participant rises from a seated position in a chair, walks 3 meters, turns around, returns to the chair, and sits down. The test is measured in seconds, with a lower number indicating a higher level of independence and the least risk for falls. | Measured at admission and discharge with estimated length of stay 14 days |

| FG001 | Physical Therapy Plus Mirror Therapy | The treatment group will receive traditional physical therapy with the addition of 15 minutes of mirror therapy consisting of lower extremity ankle dorsiflexion, knee flexion, and hip flexion. The participant will attempt to perform the exercises with both lower extremities. The patient will be blinded to the affected lower extremity with a mirror, and will be looking at the image of the unaffected lower extremity superimposed on the affected lower extremity as he or she performs the activities. |

| Physical Therapy plus Mirror Therapy | Other | The treatment group will receive traditional physical therapy intervention as described in the control group with the addition of mirror therapy. The participant will attempt to perform the flexion exercises with both lower extremities. The patient will be blinded to the affected lower extremity with a mirror, and will be looking at the image of the unaffected lower extremity superimposed on the affected lower extremity as he or she performs the activities. |

| Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement | The Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM)is designed to measure mobility and motor ability after stroke. There are three subscales with 10 items each assessing the upper extremity, lower extremity, and basic mobility. Only the lower extremity and basic mobility items were used in this study. The lower extremity scores ranged from 0 - 18 with higher scores indicating a higher level of motor control. The basic mobility scores ranged from 0 - 30 with high numbers indicating a higher level of functional mobility. | measured at admission and discharge with estimated length of stay 14 days |
