简要总结
The study aims to explore the impact of mirror therapy on exodeviation control, near and far strabismus angles, and quality of life in intermittent exotropia control post strabismus surgery, as well as its effects on near and far strabismus angles.
详细描述
Strabismus is a common childhood disorder causing eye deviation, affecting life quality and cosmetic appearance. Early detection and management improve binocular function and psychosocial problems. Intermittent exotropia is a common type. Surgery is the most common method for correcting strabismus, but complications can be difficult to treat. Physical therapy programs are limited in treating strabismus after surgery, and adding mirror therapy to traditional treatments may help maintain surgery results. This thesis aims to decrease this knowledge gap and improve the treatment of strabismus.

结局指标
主要结局
Assessment of change of the exodeviation control
时间窗: at baseline and after 3 months
The ophthalmologist examines participants' eyes while focusing on an accommodative target, determining their exotropia score. The scores range from constant to dissociated, with no exotropia unless dissociated and maximum score is 5 and minimal score is 0. the lower score is the better
次要结局
- Assessment of change of the near strabismus angles(at baseline and after 3 months)
- Assessment of change of the far strabismus angles(at baseline and after 3 months)
- Assessment of change of questions of Child and Proxy health related quality of life(at baseline and after 3 months)
- Assessment of change of questions of health-related quality of life questionnaire for Parents of children with intermittent exotropia(at baseline and after 3 months)
