Brief Summary

·       This study will address the improvement of motor function in upper extremity after administration of mirror therapy among stroke patients, as measured by Fugl-Meyer motor function assessment tool. study mirror therapy refers to using mirror to create the reflective illusion, while doing movements in the unaffected limb of stroke patients for a period of five times in a week with the duration of 20-30 minutes totally for four weeks Lack of movement especially if the dominant arm is affected, can be frightening and frustrating for the patient, since the hand performs so many functions than the leg. Mirror therapy is simple, inexpensive and has no side effect.
