About this trial
The study aimed to determine the effect of mirror therapy versus conventional physical therapy treatment in improving upper extremity impairments and motor function among chronic hemiplegic subjects.
Research Objectives:
1. To discover the effectiveness of conventional physical therapy treatment on improving upper limb motor function among chronic hemiplegic subjects. 2. To find out the effect of mirror therapy along with conventional physical therapy treatment on improving upper limb motor function among chronic hemiplegic subjects. 3. To find out the effectiveness of mirror therapy combined with conventional physical therapy treatment versus conventional physical therapy treatment alone on improving upper extremity motor function among chronic hemiplegic subjects.
