| Abstract: | Available literature indicates that 30–66% of stroke survivors present persistent upper limb impairment. Considering the importance of upper limb function for activities of daily living, it is necessary to investigate neurorehabilitation therapies that could improve the upper limb function. Among stroke complementary therapies, mirror therapy has shown promising results. Thus, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analyses was to review and synthesize clinical evidence on the use of mirror therapy on motor recovery of the upper limb and activities of daily living, and its neural correlates in stroke patients. The literature search was carried out in PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Twenty-nine studies met all the inclusion criteria. Two meta-analyses were conducted to compare mirror therapy with sham therapy on two general measures, upper limb assessment and activities of daily living. Results suggest that mirror therapy was better than sham therapy, mainly in the subacute phase, but the meta-analyses were nonsignificant. In addition, mirror therapy and cortical reorganization showed potential neural correlates, such as the primary motor cortex, precuneus, and posterior cingulate cortex. |
