Abstract

Background

Rehabilitation of subacute stroke patients represents a major challenge.

Objective

This study was conducted to examine the effects of mirror therapy on balance ability among subacute stroke patients.

Methods

The patients were assigned to a mirror therapy group (n = 17) or a sham therapy group (n = 17). Participants in the experimental group received mirror therapy and conventional rehabilitation therapy for a total of 60 minutes (mirror therapy: 30 minutes; conventional rehabilitation therapy: 30 minutes) per day, with a 10 minute rest period halfway through the session. Participants in the experimental group received training 5 days/week for 4 weeks. Participants in the control group received sham therapy and conventional rehabilitation therapy for a total of 60 minutes (sham therapy: 30 minutes, conventional rehabilitation therapy: 30 minutes) per day on the same day. Balance Index (BI) scores were obtained using a balance measurement system.

Results

A significant difference in post-training gains for the overall stability index and medial and lateral stability index was observed between the experimental group and the control group (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

We conclude that mirror therapy may be beneficial in improving balance ability among subacute stroke patients.

镜像疗法对亚急性脑卒中患者平衡能力的影响

亚急性脑卒中患者的康复是一项重大挑战。目的探讨镜像疗法对亚急性脑卒中患者平衡能力的影响。方法将患者分为镜像治疗组(n = 17)和假治疗组(n = 17)。实验组接受镜像治疗和常规康复治疗，共60分钟(镜像治疗:30分钟;常规康复治疗:每天30分钟，中间休息10分钟。实验组受试者每周训练5天，连续4周。对照组在同一天接受假治疗和常规康复治疗，每天共60分钟(假治疗:30分钟，常规康复治疗:30分钟)。使用平衡测量系统获得平衡指数(BI)分数。结果实验组与对照组在训练后整体稳定性指数、内侧和外侧稳定性指数的增益有显著差异(p <0.05)。结论镜像疗法有助于改善亚急性脑卒中患者的平衡能力。
