Help with a mirror, can recover in order to create the illusion of a stroke paralyzed people, Japanese researchers reported. Kazu Amimoto the University of Tokyo showed that optical illusion affects the brain more in the recovery of motor function of the limb than the standard treatment. The results were presented at an international conference in Vienna. According to scientists, the mental aspect plays a much larger role than previously thought, and it needs more focus. Situation where the paralyzed part of the body, one of the common consequences of stroke and one of the biggest challenges in terms of functional recovery. Conventional therapy aims to restore the mobility and movement by the concentration directly on the paralyzed part of the body using the motion and stimulation. Scientists have used a new approach to solving this problem by providing a specially adapted mirror ranked so that the movement of the body nonparalysed man saw the illusion that the part that moves is paralyzed. This optical illusion had a much greater effect and stimulate the brain, which in turn improves the motor function of the paralyzed part of the body, said Dr. Amimoto. Experts examined 14 people with stroke, in which they were paralyzed legs. They measured the bending angle and the speed of movement of the limbs to conventional therapy, and after the creation of an optical illusion. As a result, the experts have found that increased after conventional treatment of the body bending angle of 0.9 degrees, the acceleration motion changes were observed, and a new way of accelerating therapy by 12%, experts say. This is a very good result, and the researchers plan to continue to evaluate the effect of the illusion on the brain after a stroke and restore motor function to investigate.
