Methods: Quasi experimental (Non randomized control group design) was used to select sample 30 experimental and 30 control group by convenient sampling technique at Guwahati Medical College and Hospital, Guwahati, Assam. The experimental group received mirror therapy for 25 minutes per day for continuously 7 days. Control group received routine care without mirror therapy. To evaluate the upper extremity motor function, Fugl Meyer Assessment tool was used. Assessment was performed twice, on first day before intervention and on 8th day after intervention. Result: Results revealed that mean pre-intervention score was 29.33?15.82 and in post-intervention mean score was 38.97?20.07 with mean difference was 9.63. The effectiveness of mirror therapy was tested using paired t test with obtained t value is (t=8.165) was statistically significant at p<0.05 level.
