Summary

The purpose of this study will evaluate the long-term benefits, optimal dose and mechanisms of mirror therapy and its effects on physiological markers.

Detailed description

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.

TypeNameDescription
BEHAVIORALMT with low-intensity group (MT-LI)The MT-LI group will receive a 30-minute MT per session followed by a 30-minute functional training.
BEHAVIORALMT with moderate-intensity groupThe MT-MI group will receive a 60-minute MT per session followed by a 30-minute functional training.
BEHAVIORALMirror therapy with high intensity groupThe MT-HI group will receive a 90-minute MT per session followed by a 30-minute functional training
BEHAVIORALControl intervention groupThe CI group will carry out a 30-minute conventional stroke rehabilitation training per session followed by a 30-minute functional training.
