Mirror Neurons-Based Rehabilitation Techniques for Hand Injuries
This study reviews and analyses the effects of different mirror neurons-based approaches on the rehabilitation of hand injuries.
Educational Objectives
Educational Aim:
The aim of this article is to measure the efficacy of different mirror neurons-based rehabilitation techniques in hand injuries.
Editor's comments:
The treatment and rehabilitation of hand injuries are challenging – it often requires immobilization, while still maintaining as many range of motion and strength as possible. Therefore, it is important and valuable to investigate any new approaches that might benefit the recovery of patients with hand injuries.
Educational Outcomes:
Upon completion of this module practitioners should have a clear understanding of:
- The challenges of treating and managing hand injuries.
- Different mirror neurons-based approaches (i.e., mirror therapy, action observation and motor imagery) that can be used for the recovery of hand trauma.
- The effects that these approaches can have on aspects such as the hand function, hand dexterity and range of motion of different types of hand injuries.
- How these approaches could be incorporated into existing hand rehabilitation programs.
