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 test-retest method, internal consistency analysis, and item analysis were used to test reliability. For the test-retest method, BETY-BQ was administered again to the same 30 individuals 1 week later. To assess the responsiveness of the BETY-BQ, individuals who underwent medical treatment were subjected to a second round of questionnaire administration after a 3-month interval.ResultsModerate to weak correlations between BETY-BQ and the other questionnaires ensued the divergent validity. According to the confirmatory factor analysis, all goodness-of-fit indices of BETY-BQ were acceptable (CMIN/df = 2.212; RMSEA = 0.080; SRMR = 0.08). Both Cronbach's alpha (0.900) and ICC value (0.941) showed that the BETY-BQ has excellent reliability in the KOA population. The Bland-Altman Plot showed high agreement as all differences between the first and second BETY-BQ were found between the 95% lower and upper limits. BETY-BQ demonstrated moderate responsiveness as the effect size and standardized mean response were 0.656 and 0.566, respectively.ConclusionA valid, reliable, responsive, multi-dimensional, and self-reported questionnaire for measuring biopsychosocial status in KOA was introduced to the use of healthcare professionals.
