Abstract:

Objective To analyze the research status, hotspots and frontiers of mirror therapy in stroke motor function rehabilitation over the past 20 years.
Methods The English literatures on mirror therapy applied in motor function rehabilitation for stroke in the Web of Science Core Collection database from January, 2005 to December, 2024 were retrieved, and CiteSpace 6.4.R1 was used for bibliometric analysis.
Results A total of 177 articles were included, showing a fluctuating upward trend. Dohle Christian from Free University of Berlin published the most articles and formed a core research team. China was the most prolific country in terms of publication volume, while Germany was the most centralized. Chang Gung University was the institution publishing the most articles. The high-frequency keywords included upper limb, hand function, clinical feasibility, subacute stroke and virtual reality. Main clusters of keywords involved functional near-infrared spectroscopy, virtual reality and task-oriented training. The bursting words in the past three years were virtual reality and robot-assisted therapy.
Conclusion Researches on mirror therapy for motor function after stroke are increasing, focusing on the rehabilitation of upper limb and hand function, investigation of neural mechanisms, combined application with other rehabilitation techniques, and exploration of clinical feasibility and related factors. The integration of mirror therapy with other new technologies may be the research trends in the future.

Key words: stroke, mirror therapy, motor function, bibliometrics
