Description

<p>[Purpose] This study aimed to clarify the short- and long-term effects of observing video images on a tablet in chronic stroke patients. [Participants and Methods] Seven chronic stroke patients participated in this study. The patients looked at a tablet placed above their affected limb and were asked to observe inverted movement images of their own intact limb. Assessments were conducted before and after the intervention, and on days 7 and 14 after the end of the intervention. [Results] After the intervention, some patients showed an increase in the active range of motion of wrist dorsiflexion, reduction in the time required to complete peg test, and increase or maintenance of Motor Activity Log scores. A significant positive correlation was found between subjective illusion strength and peg change. [Conclusion] The results suggest that observing video images on a tablet may have short- and long-term effects on the upper extremity function of chronic stroke patients.</p>
