Research progress in mirror therapy based on mirror neurons for reha-bilitation treatment of stroke dysfunction
Mirror neurons are thought to promote the remodeling of brain functional circuits through an internal imitation mechanism,and human beings can store motor information in the brain through understanding and learning.When an action is observed,it can activate the reproduction or resonance of a similar action stored in the performing brain area of the movement,which is helpful to perform or imitate the observed action,or when auditory information related to the action appears,even if the event is hidden,mirror neurons can also be activated.Mirror therapy is realized by activating the mirror neuron system when converting visual information into active behavior.The activation of mirror neuron system can affect the process of motor learning and is an important neural mechanism of motor learning.The utility model has the advantages of simple operation and low cost,so it is especially suitable for the independent practice of patients and is worth popularizing in clinic.With the continuous expansion of clinical research.it is found that it has more application space in the treatment of stroke dysfunction.
