Significances of Mirror Box Therapy in Phantom Limb Pain and Stroke Rehabilitation A Perspective Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
The mirror box technique was developed by neuroscientist Mr. Vilayanur. S. Ramachandran, who obtained an M.B.B.S from Stanley Medical College in Madras and subsequently obtained a Ph.D. from Trinity College at the University of Cambridge. Mirror box therapy has become a widely accepted method of restoring motor function following a stroke. Mirror box therapy was originally used in the 1990s, to treat chronic pain associated with phantom limb syndrome following limb amputation. Mirror therapy or mirror visual feedback is a therapy for pain or disability that affects one side of the patient more than the other side. Mirror therapy is used to improve motor function after stroke. During mirror therapy, a mirror is placed in the persons midsagittal plane, thus reflecting movements of the non paretic side as if it were the affected side. Stroke is the leading cause of neurological disability worldwide. It affects the motor or cognitive level and needs to be treated as early as possible. One of the therapies most commonly used to restore the sequelae of stroke is mirror therapy. The mirror image of the normal body part helps reorganize and integrate the mismatch between proprioception and visual feedback of the removed body. Thus, enhancing the treatment effect for phantom limb pain. The clinical effect of mirror therapy is much more significant than any other treatments.
