STROKE
We used clinical assessments to examine three domains of therapeutic effects of sequential combination of mirror therapy and robot-assisted therapy: (1) motor function, (2) independence in daily function, and (3) self-efficacy. Clinical assessments included Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity (FMA-UE), Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT), Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living Scale (NEADL), the stroke self-efficacy questionnaires (SSEQ) and Daily Living Self-Efficacy Scale (DLSES). Participants were assessed within 1 week before the intervention (baseline assessment), and after the 18-session intervention (post-assessment). All participants were assessed by a certified occupational therapist who was unaware of the group to which the participant had been allocated.
