Stroke patients may have a new and kind of odd new treatment: mirrors! It may be able to work in the same way that mirrors work phantom limb syndrome.

width=290>Stroke patients may have a new tool in their rehabilitation shed: a 
mirror. A study presented at the 6th World Stroke Congress in Vienna, Austria, 
in September 2008 suggests that adding mirror therapy to traditional 
rehabilitation programs may speed the recovery of stroke patients. Mirror 
therapy is used to treat phantom limb pain after amputation, but may now enhance 
the rehabilitation of hemiplegia after a stroke.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/72B514D6-CB35-4060-9D42-B28E298561B0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
