简要总结
The study is conducted to assess whether the GMI or MT reduce the level of spasticity. Also to compare the level of independence in GMI and MT in the chronic stroke patients.
详细描述
A stroke is a medical condition that occurs when inadequate blood flow to a part of the brain leads to cell death. There are two primary types of strokes: ischemic, caused by reduced blood flow, and hemorrhagic, caused by bleeding. Both types result in impaired brain function in the affected areas.
A systemic review was conducted on the effectiveness of mirror therapy on lower extremities, stal and walk in early stage and long term stroke. Results shown better results with using mirror the than control group.
Non-randomized controlled trial study was conducted on stroke patients treated by graded n imagery. It consisted of 28 subjects and the experimental group included 14 and other 14 included in the control group. Graded motor imagery showed better results than the convent therapy as 10 patients showed better outcomes in the intervention group and only 4 patients sho improvement in the control group.

研究组 & 干预措施
Graded Motor Imagery
GMI uses visual cues and mental exercises to retain the brain in steps.
干预措施: Graded Motor Imagery (Other)
Mirror Therapy
Mirror Therapy uses a mirror to make the brain think the weak side is moving
干预措施: Mirror Therapy (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Modified Ashworth Scale
时间窗: 4 weeks
Changes from baseline Modified Ashworth SCale is a clinical tool used to measure the spasticity.It comprises 4 grades.0 No increase in muscle tone, 1 Slight increase in muscle tone, manifested by a catch and release or by minimal resistance at the end of the range of motion (ROM), 1+ Slight increase in muscle tone, manifested by a catch, followed by minimal resistance throughout the remainder (less than half) of the ROM, 2 More marked increase in muscle tone through most of the ROM, but affected parts) easily moved, 3 Considerable increase in muscle tone, passive movement difficult, 4 Affected parts rigid in flexion or extension.
