Therapeutic Effectiveness of Mirror Therapy Combined with Music Therapy on Upper Limb Motor Function in Hemiplegic Patients with Stroke by SHI Bohan, ZHU Yan, MA Shujie, XU Qian, WANG Ping, CHEN Zhu, ZHU Weijia

“…The mirror therapy group received mirror therapy （MT） on the basis of conventional rehabilitation，and the combined treatment group received music therapy combined with MT，additionally. Each group received continuous treatment for four weeks，30 min per day，once a day，and 5 days per week.Before and after four weeks of treatment，their upper limb motor function and ADL were assessed with modified Ashworth scale（MAS） of the upper limb，Fugl-Meyer assessment upper extremity（FMA-UE），modifled Barthel index（MBI），and their motor evoked potential（MEP） latency in affected brain areas were measured.ResultsThere were no significant differences in FMA-UE scores，and MEP latency in the three groups before treatment （<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05）.After 4 weeks of treatment，the FMA-UE scores，MBI scores，MAS grade and MEP latency of the three groups were all improved compared with those before treatment（<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05）. …”
