Abstract
Introduction and Aim:To find the effectiveness of task-based mirror therapy when compared with constraint-induced movement therapy for hand function in hemiplegic subjects. Stroke is a major health problem in the world. According to various researches, 70%-80% of the patients have the upper extremity impairment then lower extremity. Task-based mirror therapy can be an effective management for premotor cortex impairment. Constraint-induced movement therapy forms the new neural pathway when used properly.
 
 Materials and Methods:30 patients with subacute CVA (cerebrovascular attack) were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups: constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and task-based mirror therapy (TMBT). The full-Meyer motor function assessment was evaluated 4 weeks after treatment.
 
 Results: The results showed that mean value of TMBT (pre-test – 5.733, post-test- 9.86) and SD of (pre-test- 1.67, post-test- 1.92) and in CIMT(pre-test-6.3, post-test-11.13) and SD (Pre-test-1.45,Post-test -1.36).
 
 Conclusion:This study shows that CIMT group showed more improvement than TMBT group.

Summary
To find the effectiveness of task-based mirror therapy when compared with constraintinduced movement therapy for hand function in hemiplegic subjects. Stroke is a major health problem in the world. Task-based mirror therapy can be an effective management for premotor cortex impairment. Stroke is a worldwide major health problem. It was the second most common cause of death worldwide and the third most common cause of disability. 70%-80% of patient who survives from stroke have been reported to have persistent impairment of the upper limb movement. Distal parts recovery is poor in stroke patients especially hand and foot. While recovery of hand function is poor in a significant number of patients, leg function has proven to be less of a problem
