Implication

Randomized controlled trial shows mirror therapy significantly improves motor recovery and functional independence in stroke patients, suggesting its viability in low-resource settings.

Key Points

Mirror therapy significantly improves Fugl–Meyer Assessment scores at three months, indicating enhanced motor recovery.
Patients receiving mirror therapy achieved higher scores in the Action Research Arm Test compared to the conventional group, showing better functional arm use.
Significant reductions in spasticity were observed in the mirror therapy group, suggesting a beneficial impact on muscle tone.
This trial highlights the effectiveness of a low-cost intervention, making it suitable for implementation in resource-limited healthcare systems.
