Compared Effectiveness of Mirror Therapy and Virtual Reality Therapy in Upper Extremity Motor Rehabilitation during the Acute Stage of Stroke

Abstract

Comparison of mirror therapy and virtual reality therapy for individuals with upper extremity hemiparesis during the acute stage of stroke. A comprehensive literature review was performed over several medical databases. 8 articles were selected which show that both interventions appear to have some level of effectiveness for this population and may be useful interventions for occupational therapy practitioners in improving daily function.
