Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of mirror therapy with augmented reality on attention of stroke patients. MethodsFrom January, 2020 to December, 2022, 60 stroke patients in the First People's Hospital of Changzhou were randomly divided into control group (n = 30) and observation group (n = 30). Both groups received routine occupational therapy, and the observation group received mirror therapy with augmented reality additionally, for four weeks. They were assessed with Digit Span Test (DST), Digit Cancellation Test (D-CAT3 and D-CAT3P), Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) and Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) before and after treatment. ResultsBefore treatment, there was no significant difference in the scores of the DST, D-CAT3, D-CAT3P, SDMT and PASAT between two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, all the indexes improved in the observation group (|t| > 3.663, P < 0.01), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (|t| > 2.037, P < 0.05). ConclusionThe mirror therapy with augmented reality could effectively improve attention of stroke patients in the short term.
