Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Study Groups

mirror therapy treatment

Three groups will be involved in this part of the whole project:MT with low-intensity group (MT-LI), MT with moderate-intensity group (MT-MI), MT with high-intensity group (MT-HI)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

MT with low-intensity group (MT-LI)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The MT-LI group will receive a 30-minute MT per session followed by a 30-minute functional training.

MT with moderate-intensity group

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The MT-MI group will receive a 60-minute MT per session followed by a 30-minute functional training.

Mirror therapy with high intensity group

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The MT-HI group will receive a 90-minute MT per session followed by a 30-minute functional training

control intervention group

The part of this project will involve 1 treatment groups:control intervention group (CI)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Control intervention group

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The CI group will carry out a 30-minute conventional stroke rehabilitation training per session followed by a 30-minute functional training.
