  Thieme, H., Bayn, M., Wurg, M., Zange, C., Pohl, M., & Behrens, J. (2012). Mirror therapy for patients with severe arm paresis after stroke: A randomized controlled trial. Clinical Rehabilitation, 27(4), 314-324.
  
  The purpose of this randomized controlled trial study was to evaluate the effects of individual or group mirror therapy on sensorimotor function, activities of daily living, quality of life and visuospatial neglect in patients with a severe arm paresis after stroke. 60 patients were included in this study who were referred by their physicians or physical therapists. All participants underwent regular therapy during their stay at the rehab facility. In addition, patients were treated in one of the three intervention groups: individual mirror therapy, mirror therapy group, and control group. Outcome measures included Fugl-Meyer arm section and Action Research Arm Test. Results showed that mirror therapy was not more effective in improving sensorimotor function, independence in ADLs, quality of life, ROM, and pain compared to a control therapy.
