Abstract: This systematic review aims to investigate the efficacy of mirror therapy on the motor and sensory functions of the upper extremities in stroke patients. Literature from PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases was searched since their inception until March 8, 2023. Taking CINAHL as an example, the search strategy was formulated, and similar strategies were used for other databases. Four reviewers screened the literature according to the PICO principle, excluding literature related to patients with other neurological disorders, non-English literature, literature without full-text availability, study protocols, dissertations, conference abstracts, and reviews. Finally, 10 papers were selected from 1289 papers. Four researchers independently extracted data, determined the level of evidence using PEDro, and assessed the risk of bias in the literature based on the Cochrane Collaboration's recommendations. The data synthesis indicates that mirror therapy significantly improves upper-extremity motor function, especially gross motor function, and enhances touch and temperature sensory functions by promoting the ability to distinguish different tactile stimuli. However, some studies have shown that mirror therapy does not significantly improve upper-extremity function in stroke patients. The operations of mirror therapy vary from motor-based to task-based, which may contribute to the variation in outcomes among studies. In conclusion, mirror therapy improves the upper-extremity motor function and has the potential to enhance the sensory function in stroke patients, yet more high-quality studies are still needed to provide evidence support.
