Hemiplegia
Conditions
Brief summary
A randomized clinical trial was performed on hemiplegic post-stroke patients with a sample size of 50 (25 in each group).
Detailed description
It was a single-blinded study. Mirror therapy was given to group A and music therapy was given to group B. Our findings support the alternate hypothesis. This indicates the small effect size for BBS in group A and the moderate effect size for the gait assessment scale in favor of group A.
Interventions
COMBINATION_PRODUCTMirror Therapy
A mirror is used to create a reflective illusion of an affected limb in order to trick the brain into thinking movement has occurred without pain, or to create positive visual feedback of a limb movement. It involves placing the affected limb behind a mirror.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BBS (berg balance scale) | 6 Month | A score of 56 indicates functional balance. A score of \< 45 indicates individuals may be at greater risk of falling. A score of ≤49 indicates a risk of falls in individuals with stroke. |
| FGA (functional gait assessment scale) | 6 Months | The normal score on the FGA would be considered \>27/30; for adults from ages 60 to 80 years, the normal score on the FGA would be considered \>24/30; and for adults over the age of 80 years, the normal score would be considered \>19/30 |
