Background: Stroke, global health problem and second cause of death with fourth leading cause of disability worldwide. Mirror therapy is a new approach in rehabilitation used in different neurological disorders including stroke. In mirror therapy, a mirror is placed beside the unaffected limb, blocking the view of the affected limb. This creates the illusion that both limbs are functioning properly. Objectives: The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of mirror therapy on upper extremity motor functions and activity of daily living in stroke patients. Method: A quasi-experimental one group pre-test post-test design used by convenient sampling assign 35-stroke patients who met the inclusion criteria. The intervention administered in the morning for a week and a self-structured tool (UEMFs assessment scale) for Upper extremity motor functions and ADL Independence scale for activity of daily living. Data were collected every day in a week. Results: The result showed that UEMFs score was significant after intervention (p<0.001), ADL score was significant (p<0.001). There was significant improvement from pre to post test was found in UEMFs status among stroke patents (p=0.015). The significant improvement in ADL status among stroke patients. (p=0.003). The significant correlation was found between UEMFs (r=0.737, p<0.001) and ADL (r=0.857, p<0.001). Conclusion: The study concluded that Mirror therapy was an effective, non-pharmacological measure for improving upper extremity motor functions and ADL among stroke patients.
