Saebo Mirror BoxProduct ManualNo Plateau In Sight

IntroductionSaebo is pleased to introduce a simple and effective therapy tool used to treat motordysfunction. Saebo’s Mirror Box Therapy, a treatment technique first described by V.S.Ramachandran for phantom limb pain following amputation, is a form of motor imageryin which a mirror is used to process visual feedback about motor performance of theunaffected body part as it performs various movements. It is primarily used to speed upand improve motor function after stroke and other neurological disorders.How Does It Work?Mirror therapy is based on evidence that observation activates the same motor areas ofthe brain as execution. During mirror therapy, clients place their affected arm and handinside the mirror box (to block their view of the affected side) and their unaffected handand forearm in front of the mirror. See Figure 1.The client is then directed to performa movement with their unaffectedhand and to simultaneously attemptto copy the movement with theirhidden affected hand. The clientshould be looking at the image in themirror while attempting to movethe affected hand.When looking into the mirror, theclient observes the reflection of theunaffected limb positioned as theaffected limb. This creates theillusion that both limbs are workingFigure 1normally. For example, if you putyour left hand behind a mirror and right hand in front, you can trick your brain intobelieving that the reflection of your right hand in the mirror is your left. You are nowexercising your left hand in the brain. It is believed that this strong visual cue from themirror can therapeutically be used to improve motor performance and the perception ofthe affected limb.Benefits Improving motor functionReducing painReducing neglectImproving sensationReduce spasticity1Saebo Mirror Box Therapy – Product Manual

Features LightweightSturdy DesignOne-handed OperationCollapsibleIndications For Use Sufficient cognitive and verbal abilities to focus at least 10 minutes on the mirrorreflection and follow instructions. Must exhibit adequate vision: Client should see a clear image of the entire hand in the mirror. With visuospatial neglect, clients should be able to turn their head towardsthe mirror image when asked to do so and keep their attention focused onthe mirror image at least for 5-10 minutes. Sufficient balance and trunk control to sit in a wheelchair or normal chairunsupported for the duration of the treatment. Non-affected limb should ideally have a normal and pain-free range of motion.Severe constraints of the non-affected limb could limit execution of mirror therapyactivities.PrecautionsDizziness, nausea or sweating can be triggered in individual patient when observing themirror reflection. If this occurs, patients should no longer look into the mirror and focuson the unaffected limb or another point in the room.SetupSTEP 1 –Place Saebo Mirror Box flat on thetable. See Figure 2.Figure 22Saebo Mirror Box Therapy – Product Manual

See Figure 5.IMPORTANT:Before starting your first session,remove protective film coveringthe mirror.Figure 53Saebo Mirror Box Therapy – Product Manual

Setup (continued)The Saebo Mirror Box should be positioned in front of the patient’s midline, so that theaffected limb is fully covered by the mirror and the reflection of the unaffected limb iscompletely visible. When positioning the Mirror Box, it is important for the mirror imageto match the perception of the affected limb.The affected limb should bepositioned safely and comfortablybehind the mirror. If the client hassevere spasticity, prepositioning bya caregiver may be necessary andhelpful before positioning the limb.See Figure 6.IMPORTANT:Jewelry should be removed fromboth limbs in order to facilitate anintense mirror illusion. The mirrorimage has to match the perceptionof the affected limb in order tomaximize the effectiveness of theillusion.Figure 6Recommended Intensity Minimum of 30 minutes per day Minimum of 5 days per week4Saebo Mirror Box Therapy – Product Manual

mirror pair than the first type. For λ C, we say that Wλ is a strong mirror of Xλ. For such a strong mirror pair {Xλ,Wλ}, we can really ask for the relation between the zeta function of Xλ and the zeta function of Wλ. If λ1 6 λ2, Wλ 1 would not be called a strong mirror for Xλ 2, although they would be an usual weak mirror pair.
