Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of video-based mirror therapy on lower limb motor function, walking ability, and balance of stroke patients at recovery stage. MethodsFrom January to October, 2022, 43 stroke patients in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 22) and mirror therapy group (n = 21). Both groups received routine rehabilitation, and the mirror therapy group received video-based mirror therapy additionally, for four weeks. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities (FMA-LE), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) before and after treatment. ResultsAfter treatment, the scores of FMA-LE, FAC and BBS improved significantly in both groups (|t| > 6.205, P < 0.001), and the scores of FMA-LE and BBS were better in the mirror therapy group than in the control group (|t| > 2.164, P < 0.05). ConclusionCombining with video-based mirror therapy could facilitate to improve the lower limb motor function and balance ability of stroke patients at recovery stage.
