Arm rehab with mirror exercises after stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke at least 3 months ago.
- This is your first stroke.

This study tests whether using a mirror during arm exercises helps improve movement after a stroke. It compares two types of rehab programs to see which works better.
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 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 study tests if using a mirror to create the illusion of moving your weaker arm can help your real arm recover better after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago, are 18 to 80, and still have some but not too much movement in their affected arm.
This study tests if combining robotic therapy with mirror therapy can help improve arm function after a stroke. It is for people who had their first stroke 3 months to 2 years ago and have some but not full arm movement.
This study tests whether adding mirror therapy to regular walking and leg exercises helps people who have had a stroke walk better and improve leg function. Mirror therapy uses a mirror to create the illusion that the affected leg is moving, which may help rewire the brain.
