Mirror therapy for the recovery of upper and lower limb function in individuals with stroke: a scoping review protocol

This scoping review aims to summarize the characteristics of MT, delivered alone or in combination with other interventions, for the recovery of upper and lower limb function in individuals with chronic stroke, to provide a deeper understanding of the interventions and to offer relevant information to support professionals in making the best clinical decisions. Therefore, people with stroke for at least 6 months, receiving MT will be included. Randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, cross-sectional studies, longitudinal studies, case series, and case reports will be considered Qualitative studies, reviews, and conference abstracts will be excluded. Studies that do not provide a detailed description of the intervention will be excluded. The search strategy will be conducted on MEDLINE, Web Of Science, PEDro database and Cochrane Library in January 2026.
