Comparison of the Effectiveness of Mirror Therapy and Mirror Mode of Hand Robot in Stroke

In the researchers' words

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of conventional mirror therapy and robotic mirror mode training in promoting upper extremity motor recovery in adult patients with ischemic stroke during the early subacute phase. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does mirror mode of a robotic hand device result in greater motor function recovery compared to conventional mirror therapy? Are there differences between the groups in somatosensory improvement and gross motor skill outcomes? Do both intervention modalities result in clinically significant improvements in motor and functional outcomes? Researchers will compare a conventional mirror therapy group and a robotic-assisted mirror mode group to determine which provides more significant gains in motor function, somatosensory input, and functional use of the paretic arm. Participants will: Receive standard physiotherapy sessions for 6 weeks Be randomly assigned to either mirror therapy or robotic mirror mode intervention Be evaluated using Fugl-Meyer Assessment, ARAT, Box and Block Test, Wolf Motor Function Test and Tactile/proprioceptive sensory test using Fugl-Meyer Assessment Sensory subsection.
