Summary
This study tests whether mirror therapy, added to standard physical therapy, improves hand and arm function in people who recently had a stroke. 44 adults with acute stroke will be randomly assigned to receive either mirror therapy plus physiotherapy or physiotherapy alone for one week. The goal is to see if the mirror technique leads to better motor recovery and less stiffness.
