This comparative study sheds some light on the priming effects of mirror visual feedback on improvements after stroke. Having mirror visual feedback on bilateral task practice had a better effect on the recovery of the temperature sense and quality of life. To effectively achieve treatment goals for bilateral task practice in sensorimotor rehabilitation, providing mirror visual feedback may be a better option if improvement of stroke-related quality of life is the goal of treatment. Our study also presents mirror visual feedback as a better option for the improvement of sensory function. These findings may be helpful in planning individually tailored rehabilitation therapies involving the bilateral practice approach.
