The severity of obstetric brachial palsy varies according to the extent and location of the injury. Mirror therapy emerges as a promising option for rehabilitation, based on observation of the healthy limb to stimulate the cerebral cortex of the affected limb. It aims to verify the effects of mirror therapy as a rehabilitation approach in patients with obstetric brachial palsy by using a literature review and academic databases to identify relevant studies on the effectiveness of mirror therapy in the rehabilitation of patients with obstetric brachial palsy. The PRISMA checklist and PEDro Scale were used to ensure the quality of the review; the reviewed studies of 80 articles (ECAS, PubMed, Scielo, Elsevier, Research Gate, scientific journals) indicate that mirror therapy can significantly improve motor function in patients with obstetric brachial palsy. Observation of the healthy limb and the illusion of movement in the affected limb stimulate cortical areas, promoting recovery. Patients showed improvements related to muscle strength, range of motion, and decreased pain. However, effectiveness varies depending on the injury's severity and treatment adherence. Mirror therapy is a viable and beneficial intervention for the rehabilitation of patients with obstetric brachial palsy, offering improvements in motor function and quality of life. Its implementation is recommended as part of comprehensive treatment, although further studies are needed to standardize protocols and evaluate their long-term effects. |
