Title
An fMRI Study on Vibration Stimulation Synchronized Mirror Therapy.
Abstract
Hemiplegia is one of the major deficits caused by strokes. Mirror therapy (MT), which causes visual illusion to severely impaired side through presenting mirror images of the normal side in exercises, has been used in rehabilitation practice. However, due to individual differences, it is difficult for some patients to experience visual illusion. We had a hypothesis: vibration simulation for kinesthetic illusion, synchronized with visual stimulation with mirrored images could improve the elicitation of visual illusion. In this research, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was employed to test the hypothesis. The brain activities of the subjects performing finger motor tasks with MT and vibration stimulation with the parameters identified in another experiment were compared. As a result, it was found that the parietal lobe of both sides of most of subjects showed higher activities. These two facts suggested MT synchronized tactile stimulation could achieve a higher possibility of visual illusion.
