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 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.
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 study tests whether using a special mirror system with augmented reality (computer-enhanced images) can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. The therapy uses reflection and visual tricks to help your brain relearn how to control the weaker arm.
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 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.
