Abstract

Mirror therapy has been one of the popular therapies to help patients regain their motor function. This therapy has been applied for stroke patients, patients with Phantom Limb Pain (PLP), and many others. Over the years, mirror therapy has undergone changes, both in how the system is designed and how the system is implemented, and has been compared to other motor function-recovery therapies. In this review paper, forty different papers focusing on the mirror therapy are analysed and discussed. The discussion involved the types of ailments where the mirror therapy is applied, how it performs against other therapies, and how the future might look for mirror therapy. It has been shown that mirror therapy does yield positive results on patients, but when compared to other therapies, it is often overshadowed by them in terms of their efficacy. However, recent advances in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Virtual Reality may improve the efficacy of mirror therapy. This paper concludes that the modernized mirror therapy, such as VR-based mirror therapy, is a promising therapy. However, there still needs to be more robust studies to be conducted in this field.
