| Objective: This study adopted the mirror therapy method to preliminarily explore the early rehabilitation efficacy of patients with stroke-related sarcopenia and its impact on muscle atrophy. Methods: Totally, 60 patients with stroke-associated sarcopenia were divided into a control group and a treatment group according to the random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. All patients received routine rehabilitation training in the rehabilitation department, 100 min per day, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. The treatment group added mirror therapy on the basis of routine rehabilitation, 20 min per day, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. On the basis of conventional rehabilitation, the control group was given passive activities of the affected upper limb for the same duration as the mirror therapy, 20 min per day, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Functional evaluations of the two groups of patients were conducted before and 4 weeks after intervention. The bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was used to assess the muscle index of the patients. A hand dynamometer was used to measure the grip strength of the healthy side of the patients to evaluate the muscle attenuation of the patients. The upper limb part of the simplified Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Motor Function Scale (FMA-UE) and the Brunnstrom stage of the upper limb were used to evaluate the upper limb motor function of the patients. The Modified Barthel Index (MBI) was used to assess the activities of daily living of the patients. Results: After the intervention, the scores of muscle mass, grip strength of the healthy side, FMA-UE, Brunnstrom stage, and MBI of the two groups of patients were all improved to varying degrees compared with those before the intervention (P<0.05), and the scores of each item in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: On the basis of conventional rehabilitation treatment, adding mirror therapy can slow down the degree of early muscle attenuation in patients with stroke-associated sarcopenia and effectively improve the upper limb function and activities of daily living of patients. |
