Evaluation of the Impact of Laterality on Cerebral Activation During a Virtual Mirror Therapy Task of Upper Limb Using fNIRS Technology in Healthy Subjects
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Left virtual mirror therapy task and Right virtual mirror therapy task for Healthy. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the differences in brain activation in healthy subjects during virtual mirror therapy tasks, depending on the laterality of the task. It seems that mirror therapy-related brain activation is greater when the visual feedback represents the non-dominant hand. The aim of this study is to highlight brain activation profiles during the use of virtual mirror therapy according to the lateralization of the feedback.

Timeline
Interventions
the participant is seated on a chair facing the screen of the virtual mirror therapy device. both hands resting under the screen. The participant is asked, for each block of 20 seconds, to observe the visual feedback of the virtual left hand on the screen (flexion / extension movements of the fingers at 0.5 Hz).
