Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The objective of this study is to compare mirror therapy and KINVIS within the same patients with post-stroke upper limb paresis and to investigate differences in the effects and response characteristics of visual-motor illusion interventions.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Upper limb motor function is assessed using the upper extremity section of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA-UE). Assessments are performed during the baseline period and after each intervention (after mirror therapy and after KINVIS) to evaluate changes in upper limb motor function associated with each intervention.

Key secondary outcomes

Secondary outcomes include sensory function assessed using the sensory items of the Stroke Impairment Assessment Set (SIAS); maximum muscle activity (MVC) and co-contraction index (CCI) of the flexor digitorum superficialis and extensor carpi radialis longus measured using surface electromyography (EMG); sense of agency and body ownership assessed using visual analogue scales (VAS); the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS); and the KVIQ-10. These outcomes are assessed during the baseline period and after each intervention (after mirror therapy and after KINVIS) to evaluate intervention-related changes and differences in response characteristics.

Interventions/Control_1

Mirror therapy is administered using the mirror image of finger flexion and extension movements of the non-paretic hand to induce a visual-motor illusion in which the paretic upper limb appears to be moving. The intervention is performed for 20 minutes once daily, 5 times per week, with 5 sessions constituting one intervention set. A 1-week washout period is provided between the mirror therapy and KINVIS intervention periods.

Interventions/Control_2

KINVIS (Kinesthetic Illusion Induced by Visual Stimulation) is administered using a video of finger flexion and extension movements presented as if the paretic upper limb were actually moving, thereby inducing a kinesthetic illusion without actual movement of the paretic limb. The intervention is performed for 20 minutes once daily, 5 times per week, with 5 sessions constituting one intervention set. A 1-week washout period is provided between the KINVIS and mirror therapy intervention periods.
