AB  - 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.
