mirror therapy
Mirror therapy is a rehabilitation technique used primarily for patients recovering from stroke or limb injuries. It involves placing a mirror in front of a patient’s unaffected limb, creating a reflection that mimics movement. This visual feedback can help the brain rewire itself and improve motor function in the affected limb.
During the therapy, patients perform movements with their healthy limb while watching the mirror image. This can trick the brain into thinking the affected limb is moving, which may reduce pain and improve mobility. Mirror therapy is often used alongside other rehabilitation methods for better outcomes.
