Background: Stroke causes a massive distortion of the capacity of the brain to process neural information, with heterogeneous consequences. Mirror box therapy is a form of imagery technique in which a mirror is use to convey visual stimuli to the brain. This study is to find the effectiveness of mirror box therapy on hand function in patients with hemiplegia.
Method: This study was an experimental study of pre and post type. This study was carried out in Adhiparasakthi Medical sciences and Research Institute, Melmaruvathur. 30 subjects with hemiplegia were selected by simple random sampling. they were equally divided as Group A and Group B. Group A received conventional physiotherapy with Mirror box therapy. Group B received conventional physiotherapy alone. Treatment was given 5 sessions a week for 6 weeks. Hand function was measured before and after treatment by using Motor Assessment Scale. Based on the pre-test and post test scores data was analyzed and results were interpreted.
Results: Comparative study between Group A, Group B showed a significant difference in the effectiveness of hand function with a P Value of 0.001 in hemiplegic patients.
Conclusion: This study be concluded that mirror box therapy with conventional physiotherapy improves hand control in hemiplegia.
