Effect of Mirror Therapy on the Motor Recovery in Patients After Stroke: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Objectives: One of the most important problems seen in patients after stroke is that they cannot develop normal muscle strength. In recent years, the use of Mirror Therapy (MT) in the recovery of this condition has been noticed in different studies. This study investigated the effect of MT on motor recovery in patients after stroke. Methods: In this clinical trial, 93 patients were divided int...
متن کاملConstraint-induced movement therapy after stroke.
Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) was developed to overcome upper limb impairments after stroke and is the most investigated intervention for the rehabilitation of patients. Original CIMT includes constraining of the non-paretic arm and task-oriented training. Modified versions also apply constraining of the non-paretic arm, but not as intensive as original CIMT. Behavioural strategies...
متن کاملReduced-intensity modified constraint-induced movement therapy versus conventional therapy for upper extremity rehabilitation after stroke: a multicenter trial.
BACKGROUND Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a rehabilitation approach for arm paresis consisting of an intensive schedule of treatment (6 h/d). The high demand of resources for CIMT is a critical issue for its implementation in the Italian health system. OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of a reduced-intensity modified CIMT (mCIMT) program that included splinting the unaffected ar...
متن کاملDonepezil as an adjuvant to constraint-induced therapy for upper-limb dysfunction after stroke: an exploratory randomized clinical trial.
Donepezil, a primarily central acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, could potentiate learning in subjects with stroke by amplifying cholinergic input to the cerebral cortex from the nucleus basalis of Meynert. We tested this possible adjuvant effect of donepezil in a prospective randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of 20 subjects 1 or more years following stroke undergo...
متن کاملComparison of conventional therapy, intensive therapy and modified constraint-induced movement therapy to improve upper extremity function after stroke.
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of 4 weeks of intervention using conventional rehabilitation, intensive conventional rehabilitation and modified constraint-induced movement therapy on the hemiplegic upper extremity in stroke patients. METHODS Thirty stroke patients (mean age: 63.3, standard deviation 9.63 years; mean time since stroke: 11.33, standard deviation 8.29 weeks) were randomly divi...
