Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of using mirror box therapy as a therapeutic technique amongst patients with functional movement disorders. It is hypothesized that a brief, single, in-office mirror therapy session will lead to a noticeable decrease in FMD-related involuntary movements.

Detailed description

Patients diagnosed with Functional Movement Disorder presenting with a unilateral or asymmetrical bilateral hand tremor will be asked to participate in a series of hand exercises with and without a mirror box. The severity of the tremor will be rated subjectively by the subject and objectively by the neurologist after hand exercises with and without the mirror box.
