EDGE Mobility System Therapy Mirror Box | Rehabilitation for Stroke, Phantom ...

Ordered this Mirror Box when my husband started hand therapy after being diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome following a shoulder injury. Since we live 200 miles from the hand therapist, he has had to follow a home program which included Mirror Box therapy. This Mirror Box is just exactly the right tool! It is a convenient size, light weight, and collapsible which makes it very portable. It is easy to set up and put away - no excuses for avoiding following through with the home program!! We have not found any issues with the mirror that others have reported. Granted the mirror is not glass, but it serves the purpose very well. My husband and his hand therapist have been very pleased with the progress being made, because the home program is being followed with this Mirror Box. We are grateful such an item is available commercially and for a pretty reasonable price too. Shipping was very fast!

Part of my husbands stroke recovery. For the stroke survivor I recommend videotaping so they can see what their hand is doing as at first they won’t feel their finger moving! Trying to do this a little more each time. Neurofatigue is real so remember they are growing new pathways so at first you might not see the hand or finger move a lot but the muscles are firing and the brain is making new pathways. The more you do it the more they grow. But we found that we could only have him do like five minutes at first. Now he can do longer. Now his fingers move more and his hand moves too. Great product. Not fancy but does the job. Make sure to remove plastic from mirror part.

I found that the wrinkly marks on the mirror (left by the protective film) are effectively removed with one or two applications of nail polish remover. The product arrived in very good time. The box is easy to open and close. Directions on how to use need to come from a certified therapist. This is a therapy tool. As in the case with many therapy tools, it is expensive.

There was a plastic protective sheet which appeared to confuse someone else that reviewed this. It peels off quickly, and a spray of window cleaner makes the mirror perfect. "Pops" open in a second and stores flat. I have a "Hand Therapy Box" and this sits easily on top. At this price, it could potentially be something great for a chronic pain patient to purchase and use at home. Wish I had a HCPCS code for it, and I'm sure that I can figure something out for that.

I bought this to use for paralysis of my left side I've had due to a brain tumor. I like it only thing is if you have only 1 working hand I would not recommend folding it up to put away. I could not reopen it ! So this is something that should be noted. Do not fold up ! You won't be able to reopen it with only 1 hand. Otherwise I love the convenience of this. Its lightweight and a nice clear mirror. The mirror though will scratch if it rubs around on things.

Two years post stroke and did mirror therapy for the first time a month ago and I’m really pleased with the results. Easy enough to do without much help is why I purchased this mirror for home therapy. Thank you!

0 stars if I could. Not worth the price. It’s a small version of a pop up hamper with a reflective surface that cannot be called a true mirror. Mirrors are glass and this is plastic. The reflection is much smaller than true size. It also ‘bends’ the reflection.

This mirror box is easy to use, lightweight for therapy. It easily collapses for storage. Definitely worth the price.

Item is not worth the price as you can use a simple mirror to accomplish the same goal. Was purchased thinking price isn’t a matter when it confess to stroke recovery. But this item did not help

Das Produkt ist gut verarbeitet. Die Lieferung aus England war sehr schnell. Die erste Benutzung war für mich sehr überraschend, ich habe es für die linke Hand benutzt und bin auf die weiteren Experimente gespannt.

cara para lo que es

Très pratique très facile à 1 main

Folds flat for storage, excellent item was recommended for therapy post stroke where one arm doesn't work as well. I believe that moving the "good" arm in the mirror tricks the brain into thinking the "bad" arm is doing ok, and seems to be doing well so far. My Dad's "bad" hand was definitely moving better afterwards. Definitely worth a try and doesn't take up a lot of room.
