Effects and Mechanisms of Treatment Intensity of Mirror Therapy in Patients With Subacute Stroke: Outcomes in Brain and Movement Reorganization, Sensorimotor and Daily Functions, and Measures of Physiological Markers.
Effects and Mechanisms of Treatment Intensity of Mirror Therapy in Patients With Subacute Stroke: Outcomes in Brain and Movement Reorganization, Sensorimotor and Daily Functions, and Measures of Physiological Markers.
The purpose of this study will evaluate the long-term benefits, optimal dose and mechanisms of mirror therapy and its effects on physiological markers.
This trial is to examine whether (1) the immediate effects of treatment intensity in MT would occur on sensorimotor impairments and functional performance in patients with subacute stroke; (2) the long-term benefits of treatment intensity in MT on functionality can persist for six months after treatment finished; and (3) the MT could result in cortical/movement reorganization as well as the changes in physiological markers.
