Abstract

Objective To explore the effects of mirror therapy on walking of stroke patients. Methods From September, 2016 to May, 2017, 60 hemiplegic patients after stroke were randomly divided into control group (n=30) and treatment group (n=30). The control group received routine rehabilitation and functional electrical stimulation (FES), while the treatment group received mirror therapy in addition. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-lower limbs (FMA-L), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Holden Rating of Walking Function before and eight weeks after treatment. Results The scores of FMA-L and Berg Balance Scale, as well as the walking ability improved in both groups after treatment (t>4.557, Z>4.666, P<0.001), and improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (t>5.832, Z=-2.086, P<0.05).Conclusion Mirror therapy, based on FES, can further improve the walking in hemiplegic patients after stroke.
