Background: Motor recovery of the upper extremity in stroke patients is an important goal of rehabilitation. In particular, motor recovery can be accelerated when physical and cognitive interventions are combined. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of functional electrical stimulation (FES) with mirror therapy (MT) on motor function of upper extremity in stroke patients. Methods: Twenty-seven stroke patients were recruited, and the 23 subjects who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into 2 groups: the experimental group (n = 12) and the control group (n = 11). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation training for 60 minutes/day and 5 days/week for 4 weeks. In addition, members of the experimental group received FES with MT and members of the control group received FES without MT for 30 minutes/day and 5 days/week for 4 weeks. Immediately before and after intervention, motor recovery was measured using the Fugl-Meyer (FM) assessment, Brunnstrom's motor recovery stage (BMRS), the Manual Function Test (MFT), and the Box and Block Test (BBT). Results: Significant upper extremity motor improvements were observed in the experimental and control groups according to the FM, BMRS, MFT, and BBT (P < . 05). In particular, FM subscores for wrist, hand, and co-ordination and MFT subscores for hand function were more significantly improved in the experimental group (P < . 05). Conclusions: Motor functions of the upper extremity were improved by FES with MT versus controls. The study shows that FES with MT during poststroke rehabilitation may effectively improve motor functions of the upper extremity.
