Stroke, Acute Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effects of Unilateral and Bilateral Mirror Therapy on Upper Extremity Function of Stroke at Acute Stage: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.
Objective: To comparing the effects of unilateral and bilateral mirror therapy on upper extremity function of stroke at acute stage. We hypothesize there are different effects between unilateral and bilateral mirror therapy on stroke patients at acute stage. Method: Patients with unilateral stroke and the onset within one month will be recruited and then randomly allocated to one of the three groups (including unilateral mirror therapy, bilateral mirror therapy, and conventional occupational therapy). Patient will receive 20 consecutive sessions of intervention (5 time per week, totally 4 weeks) and assessments before and after the intervention within one week. In each intervention session, patients will receive 30 minutes unilateral or bilateral mirror therapy depending on their allocated groups and then 30 conventional occupational therapy. The patients recruited in the conventional occupational therapy group will receive 60 minute conventional therapy. The outcome measures at pre- and post-treatment will including the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for upper extremity (FMA-UE), the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), the Jamar Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer, the Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory (CAHAI), the Revised Nottingham Sensory Assessment (rNSA), and Functional Independence Measurement (FIM).

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Fugl-Meyer Assessment for upper extremity (FMA-UE) | The FMA-UE is a commonly used assessment in clinical for the extent of motor impairment of upper extremity post-stroke. The score ranged from 0 to 66. The psychometric properties of the FMA-UE had established, and there was also good responsiveness in the past studies. | pre-treatment: before intervention within a week; post-treatment: after intervention within a week | |
Primary | The Jamar Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer | The Jamar Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer is a gold standard assessment tool for measuring muscle power including the grip strength, palmar pinch, and lateral pinch. | pre-treatment: before intervention within a week; post-treatment: after intervention within a week | |
Secondary | Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) | The MAS is a clinical measurement for muscle spasticity. The score is ranged from 0 to 4. The shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, and fingers will be assessed. The psychometric properties of the MAS had established in the past studies. | pre-treatment: before intervention within a week; post-treatment: after intervention within a week | |
Secondary | Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory (CAHAI) | The CAHAI is used for the involvement of the impairment upper extremity during the bimanual tasks. There are 13 item and each score is ranged from 1-7. The psychometric properties of the CAHAI had established in the past studies. | pre-treatment: before intervention within a week; post-treatment: after intervention within a week | |
Secondary | Functional Independence Measurement (FIM) | The FIM was applied for evaluating the independent level and ADL function of the stroke patients. It includes 18 items of self-care, sphincter control, transfers, locomotion, communication, and social cognition. Score of each item is ranged from 1 to 7. The psychometric properties of the FIM had established in the past studies. | pre-treatment: before intervention within a week; post-treatment: after intervention within a week | |
Secondary | Revised Nottingham Sensory Assessment (rNSA) | The rNSA is developed for assessing sensory function of patients with stroke. The reliability of rNSA was established in the past study. | pre-treatment: before intervention within a week; post-treatment: after intervention within a week |
