To assist people recover from a stroke and regain use of their upper extremity, rehabilitation is essential. Using evidence-based therapies, such as mirror therapy, which is being employed in stroke rehabilitation for senior patients to speed up upper limb sensory-motor recovery, is essential to this process. Aim: To evaluate the effect of rehabilitative intervention regarding mirror therapy for elderly patients' post-stroke to improve upper extremity sensory motor function. Design: A quasi experimental pre and post-test design was used.  Subjects: A purposive sample of fifty elderly patients post-stroke was included. Setting: The study was carried out in the Rehabilitation Unit of Mansoura University Hospital and at elders' homes.  Tools: Three standardized tools and an interview schedule sheet were used. Results: During the pre- and follow-up phases of the intervention, a highly statistically significant difference was observed in all parameters of the upper limb's sensory-motor recovery in the intervention group (p<0.01). Additionally, in post-test I and II, there were extremely statistically significant differences (p<0.01) observed for all parameters between the two groups. Conclusion: Rehabilitative intervention regarding mirror therapy as practical, simple, and affordable, nursing intervention that can be used  to enhance upper extremity sensory motor function in elderly patients' post-stroke. Recommendations: It is advised that mirror therapy training be given in both clinical and community settings.
