Overview

This is a randomized controlled trial which will compare conventional mirror therapy with mirror therapy using the Miraπ device which physically moves a patient's affected limb.

This study will use two parallel groups: (1) receiving conventional mirror therapy as a part of the standard of care as conducted by the participant's clinical care team and (2) receiving mirror therapy with the Miraπ device as conducted by study personnel with the oversight of the participant's clinical care team.
