Task-based and Magnified Mirror Therapy for Unilateral Spatial Neglect among post-stroke subjects: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is a commonly occurring neurocognitive disability after a stroke. The neglect may affect the motor recovery of the upper and lower limbs and functional performances. Mirror therapy, a simple and economical approach has the potential to reduce the USN and related impairments.

Aim

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of task-based and magnified mirror therapy on the USN and on the motor recovery of the post-stroke subjects. The secondary objective is to investigate the effectiveness of the intervention on the function and disability of the subjects.

Methods

In this randomized controlled, assessor-blinded trial, 86 post-stroke subjects will be recruited from the neuro-rehabilitation laboratory o
