| Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of mirror therapy for unilateral spatial neglect after stroke. Method: Twenty four stroke patients with unilateral spatial neglect were randomly divided into control group (n=12) and mirror therapy group (n=12). Both groups accepted normal rehabilitation for unilateral spatial neglect, and mirror therapy group accepted mirror therapy in addition. Before and 3 weeks after training, the patients in both groups were assessed with the Chinese behavioral inattention test Hong Kong version (CBIT-HK) scale. Their routine test score, behavioral test score and total score were compared between two groups. Result: After treatment for 3 weeks, the routine test score, behavioral test score and total score assessed by CBIT-HK were significantly increased as compared with those before treatment in both groups (P<0.01). As compared with control group, the routine test score, behavioral test score and total score in mirror therapy group were significantly increased (P<0.01). Conclusion: The mirror therapy combined with conventional rehabilitation treatments can significantly improve symptoms of unilateral spatial neglect after stroke. |
