Setup (continued)
The Saebo Mirror Box should be positioned in front of the patient's midline, so that the
affected limb is fully covered by the mirror and the reflection of the unaffected limb is
completely visible. When positioning the Mirror Box, it is important for the mirror image
to match the perception of the affected limb.
The affected limb should be
positioned safely and comfortably
behind the mirror. If the client has
severe spasticity, prepositioning by
a caregiver may be necessary and
helpful before positioning the limb.
See Figure 6.
IMPORTANT:
Jewelry should be removed from
both limbs in order to facilitate an
intense mirror illusion. The mirror
image has to match the perception
of the affected limb in order to
maximize the effectiveness of the
illusion.
Recommended Intensity
• Minimum of 30 minutes per day
• Minimum of 5 days per week
