About this study

It was a single-blinded study. Mirror therapy was given to group A and music therapy was given to group B. Our findings support the alternate hypothesis. This indicates the small effect size for BBS in group A and the moderate effect size for the gait assessment scale in favor of group A.

Treatment and study plan

Mirror Therapy

Combination Product

A mirror is used to create a reflective illusion of an affected limb in order to trick the brain into thinking movement has occurred without pain, or to create positive visual feedback of a limb movement. It involves placing the affected limb behind a mirror.

Music Therapy

Other

Music therapy, an allied health profession, the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals

Primary outcomes

  1. BBS (berg balance scale)

    Time frame: 6 Month

    A score of 56 indicates functional balance. A score of < 45 indicates individuals may be at greater risk of falling. A score of ≤49 indicates a risk of falls in individuals with stroke.

  2. FGA (functional gait assessment scale)

    Time frame: 6 Months

    The normal score on the FGA would be considered >27/30; for adults from ages 60 to 80 years, the normal score on the FGA would be considered >24/30; and for adults over the age of 80 years, the normal score would be considered >19/30
