Résumé
Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of the mirror neuron system based mirror visual feedback (MVF) training on both upper-limbs motor function and cognitive function in patients after stroke. Methods:From October, 2016 to July, 2017, 60 stroke patients were randomly divided into control group (n = 30) and treatment group (n = 30). Both groups accepted routine upper limb motor function and cognitive function training, and the treatment group accepted Mirror Neuron System Training (MNST) in addition. Before and eight weeks after treatment, they were assessed with Montreal Cognitive Assessment, reaction time, Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities, modified Barthel Index and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. Results:Both groups improved in all the indices after treatment (t > 3.915P < 0.001), and the indices improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (t > 2.452, P < 0.05). Conclusion:MVF based on routine rehabilitation may further improve both the upper limb motor function and cognitive function for stroke patients.
