Abstract:
Introduction. Stroke has a major socio-economic impact on the population. The consequences
of the disease are fatal in 20 – 35 % of cases, and in 30 – 60 % patients report permanent
functional difficulties of the upper limb. Mirror therapy is a relatively new method proposed in
the treatment of post-stroke hemiparesis. It is based on the activity of mirror neurons in the
neuroplasticity process. The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of mirror therapy
in patients with neurological motor deficiency of the upper limb resulting from an ischemic or
hemorrhagic stroke.
