Mirror Therapy plus task or impairment training for stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of arm rehabilitation after stroke: mirror therapy combined with either task-oriented (practicing daily activities) or impairment-oriented (targeting specific arm weaknesses) exercises. It aims to see which approach better improves arm and hand function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether mirror-based therapy can help improve movement in the affected hand and wrist after a stroke. It may help you regain upper-limb function when standard rehab alone isn’t enough.
This trial tests whether task-based mirror therapy can help improve shoulder and hand function in people who have had a stroke less than 6 months ago. It focuses on those with moderate to severe stroke symptoms but without severe muscle stiffness or cognitive issues.
This trial tests whether using a mirror to create the illusion of movement can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. It may be a good option if you have limited arm movement and can follow simple instructions.
This trial tests whether combining sensory feedback with mirror therapy can help people who have had a stroke improve arm movement. It may be a good option if you are at least three months past your stroke and have some but limited arm function.
This study tests whether mirror therapy—watching your unaffected arm move in a mirror to trick your brain—helps improve movement, feeling, and quality of life after a stroke. It's for people who still have some arm and leg function and can follow simple instructions.
This study tests a new kind of arm exercise that uses a mirror to help your brain recover movement after a stroke. It may help you improve arm function if you have some movement already.
