Mirror Therapy Combined With Task- vs. Impairment-oriented Rehabilitation Program
Sponsor: I-Shou University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of mirror therapy combined with task- vs. Impairment-oriented rehabilitation programs as novel hybrid approaches in individuals with stroke. Participants will receive mirror therapy combined with the task-oriented rehabilitation program (MTT), mirror therapy combined with the impairment-oriented rehabilitation program (MTI), or task-oriented rehabilitation program combined with the impairment-oriented rehabilitation program (TI) 90 minutes per day, three days per week, for six weeks.

Interventions
Mirror therapy
In mirror therapy, a wooden mirror (41×50×33 cm3) will be positioned in the participant's sagittal midplane, blocking the participant's view of the affected arm performance. We will also provide a foldable bed tray table to ensure that the participants focus on the mirror reflection of the less affected arm. The mirror therapy will consist of movement and functional practices.
Task-oriented approach
The task-oriented approach will provide both bimanual common-goal and dual-goal tasks for the participants.
Impairment-oriented approach
The impairment-oriented approach will focus on the movement components. Arm BASIS or Arm Ability training will be provided based on the severity of the participant's impairment.
