Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Mirror therapy group
Mirror therapy group: exercises looking at the reflection in the mirror of the hand moving
Mirror therapy
The treatment proposed for the mirror group consisted of 8 weeks of treatment, performing a series of exercises 2 times a day / 4 times a week. The first 4 weeks the treatment was done in the hospital next to the physiotherapist for 2-3 days a week, and the next 4 weeks the patient performed the exercises following the same guidelines at home.
Placebo group
Placebo group: exercises performed with the mirror turned to avoid the reflection of the hand and looking at the hand that did not remain hidden.
Placebo group
The treatment was the same than proposed in inference group but with a mirror covered to avoid the reflexion on the hand and looking at the hand that did not remain hidden.
