Overview

Brief Summary

This study aims to compare the effects of mirror therapy combined with either neuromuscular electrical stimulation or binaural beat stimulation on post-stroke lower limb motor function recovery. The study also explores the relationship between patients' cortical excitability and motor function improvement.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Fugl-Meyer assessment, lower extremity

Time Frame: 10minutes

The Fugl-Meyer Assessment for lower extremity is a scale used to evaluate motor and functional recovery in patients with conditions like stroke. It measures muscle strength, movement control, coordination, and balance. Scores range from 0 (no movement) to 34 (full recovery). Higher scores indicate better recovery.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Modified ashworth scale(5minutes)
  • The postural assessment scale for stroke patients(10 minutes)
  • Timed up and go test(5minutes)
  • Barthel index(5minutes)
