Summary

The purpose of this project is to further investigate the use of Virtual Mirror therapy for alleviating symptoms of chronic phantom limb pain. This initial pilot study will inform a fully powered randomized control trial which will include both upper and lower extremity amputees

Conditions

  • Phantom Limb Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Virtual Mirror Therapy

Subjects will be offered the use of a Virtual Reality headset therapy game. Fiducial markers will be placed on the residual limb for tracking via front facing cameras on the Oculus Quest 2 and the sound limb movements will be duplicated (flipped for chirality) and mapped onto the residual limb to provide the appearance of their residual limb. The software will direct the subjects through a series of guided movements, stretches, and visualization exercises which last a total of 15 minutes. Afterwards the subjects will be given 5 minutes of unstructured time in the program to perform any of exercises or movements they desire in order to attempt to relieve their phantom limb pain.
