Efficacy of mirror therapy on lower limb motor recovery, balance and gait in subacute and chronic stroke: A systematic review.
Maryam Khan KundiNicola J SpencePublished in: Physiotherapy research international : the journal for researchers and clinicians in physical therapy (2023)
This review has shown that MT is effective in lower-limb motor recovery, balance and gait in subacute and chronic stroke in patients 18 years or above with no severe cognitive disorder, MMSE score ≥24 and FAC level ≥2. MT could be used for 30 min/day, 5 days/week for 4 weeks, as stand-alone for motor recovery and balance or as an adjunct with electric stimulation for gait for beneficial effects.
