Comparing Mirror Therapy Rehabilitation Device to Conventional Mirror Therapy

Comparing Mirror Therapy Rehabilitation Device to Conventional Mirror Therapy

This is a randomized controlled trial which will compare conventional mirror therapy with mirror therapy using the Miraπ device which physically moves a patient's affected limb.

This study will use two parallel groups: (1) receiving conventional mirror therapy as a part of the standard of care as conducted by the participant's clinical care team and (2) receiving mirror therapy with the Miraπ device as conducted by study personnel with the oversight of the participant's clinical care team.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participants currently accepted and cleared for rehabilitation in the inpatient rehabilitation unit by the rehabilitation medical director.
• Participants with paralysis or motor function problems of only one hand.
• Participants need mirror therapy because of their health condition.
• Participants' rehabilitation physician determined that mirror therapy would be appropriate for standard of care.
• Participants are able to memorize easy tasks, and able to follow instructions e.g., moving the healthy fingers.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participants who are not cleared physically or medically to participate in standard acute inpatient rehabilitation therapies by the rehabilitation medical director
• Participants who are not able to memorize easy tasks, e.g., moving the healthy fingers.
• Participants with spasticity of the affected hand (as assed by the occupational therapist)
• Minors
• Vulnerable populations
