This will be the topic that Fizah and I will be doing for our manuscript for the OCT4NRE module. We are now in the phase of summarising the literature and tomorrow, we will attempt to critique the current literature.
Mirror therapy has been used for patients with phantom pain, complex regional pain syndrome etc. However, use of mirror therapy on stroke rehabilitation is pretty new as evident by the small number of literature. So far, use of small sample sizes and neurologically healthy subjects are found. Some of them are of single case studies. However, all of them showed positive results in using mirror therapy in improving hand functions. It is also worthwhile to note that mirror therapy does not increase spasticity.
For a more detailed critique of the current literature, please keep a lookout for the next update (after the meeting, yeah!).
