Abstract:
Objectives: This scoping review aimed to help better understand current evidence regarding Mirror therapy among children to support the future development of MT intervention protocol on children.
Methods: PubMed, Science-direct, Web of Science, and ProQuest databases were searched from January 2005 to December 2022 for interventions within the scope of MT for children. Google Scholar was also scanned for additional resources. The process was guided by PRISMA guidelines. The main inclusion criteria were English and Persian language and peer-reviewed empirical studies of MT for children. We are charting methodological information from articles according to participant characteristics, design, intervention, and outcome measures.
Results: Of 20 studies included in this scoping review, 18 studies were conducted in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP), and only two studies were in other conditions. 18 articles were randomized controlled clinical trials, one case study, and one single subject. 37 outcome measures were in the body functions and structures level, and ten outcome measures were in the activities and participation levels of ICF.
Conclusion: The review indicates that in future studies, it is necessary to pay more consideration to other disorders beyond HCP, furthermore, levels of activity and participation as the outcome need to use more.
