Article The Effect of Mirror Therapy on Spasticity in Adult Patients With Stroke: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Tosun, Anil Tekeoglu; Isiklar, Cagdas; Yeldan, Ipek; Tekeoğlu Tosun, AnılObjective This study aims to investigate the effects of Mirror Therapy (MT) on spasticity and related parameters in stroke patients Methods A systematic review was performed in databases PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Cochrane, and Scopus databases for published RCTs (Randomized Controlled Trials) from the date of each database's inception to May 2021. Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) in adult patients with stroke compared to conventional therapy, sham, and additional therapy control were included. Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale was used to assess the methodological quality of each study. Results The overall effect of MT on MAS was statistically significant and beneficial when studies were analyzed in terms of both upper and lower extremities (p < 0.001). MT demonstrated a large and beneficial overall effect on the Brunnstrom Assessment compared to conventional therapy (p < 0.001). The overall impact of MT on Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) was large and statistically significant (p < 0.001). However, a meta-analysis of three studies using the 10-meter walk test showed that the overall effect of MT was not statistically significant (p = 0.258). Conclusion This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrates reductions in upper and lower extremity spasticity and improved motor recovery with MT, both isolated and combined with other treatments, in adults with stroke.

The questionnaire was sent to 300 patients with MS who were registered at Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty Neurology Department.Results: A total of 156 people (mean age: 35.33 +/- 10.47 years) participated in the survey. Smartphone 98.1% (n = 153) was the mostly used device. Rate of using Google and recommended websites about MS was 94.25% (n = 145) and 73.9% (n = 113), respectively. e-Health literacy of both the tablet and recommended websites users significantly differed from that of nonusers (p = 0.007 for both). Participants' e-health literacy total score was found to weakly, but significantly, correlate with their age, marital status, and education level (rho: -0.161, p = 0.044; rho: 0.172, p = 0.032; rho: -0.192, p = 0.016, respectively).Conclusions: With developments in digital technologies, it is important to identify the access status of people with MS to improve daily clinical management and implement further motor and cognitive rehabilitation. Therefore, determining the health literacy of individuals with MS and providing education on this subject will reduce the information pollution.Conference Object Submission Group: Digital Health Investigation of E-Health Literacy in Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis (ms) in Turkey(Sage Publications Ltd, 2021) Tosun, Anil Tekeoglu; Isiklar, Cagdas; Yildirim, Merve[No Abstract Available]
