Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Bilateral Arm Training   The hospital-based BAT protocol was similar to that of MT, but the mirror box was not provided. The participants were asked to symmetrically move both arms as simultaneously as possible. 
Intervention  Mirror Therapy   The hospital-based MT protocol included mirror box training for 45 minutes and functional training for 45 minutes. After 10 minutes of warm-up exercises for the affected arm, including stretching and a passive range of motion exercises, a portable mirror box (48 × 36 × 36 cm3) will be placed in the midsagittal plane of each participant. The affected arm will be positioned behind the mirror. The movements of the unaffected arm in front of the mirror will be reflected as if the affected side was being moved. During the mirror box training, the participants will be guided to gaze at the mirrored image to allow them to imagine that the reflection is their affected arm performing the activities and to move both arms in symmetric patterns as simultaneously as possible. The activities will consist of 10 minutes of non-task oriented movements, such as forearm pronation/supination or finger flexion/extension, and 35 minutes of task-oriented activities, such as picking up the handset from the phone, picking up items and putting them in the box, or other functional tasks involved in daily activities.

Brief Summary  
Mirror visual feedback (MVF) is a technique used in stroke patients
rehabilitation to improve their motor recovery. Bilateral Arm Training has emerged as an
approach that leads to positive outcomes in addressing upper extremity paresis after stroke.
BAT is based on motor learning principles, the aim of overcoming learned non-use and relative
inactivity but also includes the use of the non-paretic arm
The purpose of study is to  investigate effect of early visual priming using mirror visual feedback in recovery 
of functional status of the patients with stroke admitted in tertiary care hospital.Study will be conducted using Quasi-experimental study design.The study will be conducted in the patients which will be admitted in Goa Medical 
College and Hospital. Outcome measures used will be Fugl meyer upper extremity assessment , Motor activity log, stroke impact scale will be measured at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention.
