Mirror Box Therapy & NEUROPLASTICITY Following Stroke

I believe affected UE should be attempting those movements while the unaffected is as well

GREAT DEMONSTRATION. I was shown mirror therapy for my brother-in-law and it was a little different. I would like your input if possible. The activity was to open and close the hand from a fist. Instead of just watching the good hand in the mirror w/ the affected hand not moving I was instructed to move the affected hand at the same rate as the non-affected hand (which was being watched in mirror). In other words I was opening and closing the affected hand as he opened and closed and watched in mirror the non- affected hand. Should he only watch-or is manipulation of affected hand at same rate to his benifit?
Thank You

she's amazing!

your patient here already has a very good functioning L UE. Does this work well for those with flaccid or trace movements? I have used this with patients for posture sitting in front of a mirror as feedback to improve sitting posture/balance.

I'm in a rehab hospital in Tampa from a stroke last week. They do not utilize such a simple device. I will bring it up tomorrow in our weekly pow wow.
Thank you for posting

I don't getb it. It looked like he wasb looking down....i justdont understand. The mirror was facing away so he couldnt see it

Doctor I need your help please 🙏🙏🙏

I wonder if this could be done for a winged scapula?

even if'd do that this would turn out pointless.coz my affected arm is having a muscle astrophy.while the other is whole lot of thick.

I recently lost half my finger in an accident at work and I really find this helpful the struggle is real people and i feel for everyone who is goin threw the similar sort of thing as I am goin threw though it’s tuff Ino but keep up the hard work and you will achieve greatness 😌

My patient has a stroke befor 2 years and her hand will not improve she can't move ther hand .. are you think this mirror therapy is useful !? please answer my question !?!

This assistant is useless. She doesn't know what she is doing.she should choose different career.

Can I get trained with that

I am a stroke patient and I today started the therapy I just wanna know how much time is required

Thanks for posting this, it is very helpful for those of us working in neuro or chronic pain . I really like giving this to patients when they are discharged to go home, and have over a year to take advantage of neuroplasticity. I would love an update to see how this fellow is doing now!

Are these available for home use?

Thank you

He is not looking at the reflection

Does effective for numbness?

My Mother had a stroke and lost function in her right arm (she is left handed) I'm trying this out with a jury rigged cardboard version. Stroke outcomes are a unique as fingerprints and snowflakes, so we shall see what happens.

My mummy had a ischemic stroke I find she does baby the hand , the hand numb, she does only the squeeze a sponge ball

This gentleman was a good sport letting these OT’s film him! Really cool mirror box therapy. I read about this when I was getting ready to go to OT School myself. However, at the time, it seemed to be used more for phantom limb syndrome after amputation, so very cool to see it used in post-stroke recovery. Two thumbs up, literally! :)

Thank you for producing this video!! Best wishes for Mr. Joe's continuing recovery!!

8 years later, I hope you’re both living your best heroes, both inspirational. Joe and the therapist 🙏🏻💖

Hard work does pay off. I've been getting literally 1.8 million repetitions in since around May on my Motus Nova robotic hand device. I've been applying functional activities to regain my stroke hand back. I was able this month using my affected hand, trim the fingernails on my right hand. Last night using dynamic tape on my affected hand, taping a fork to my hand, I lifted a ravioli from the saucepan into my mouth. I also work with blocks and paper clips though I have to kind of hold my hand up. My arm gets tired still. I know my success with this this is from doing all of these repetitions which I could never get by just going into the physical therapist I get to track my progress with a daily report and I get live assessments from Motus at least once a month. I highly suggest using @MotusNova if you want to get your wrist back after a stroke.

I hope this gentleman made a full recovery
