Product Features
- THERAPY BOX: It may seem bizarre that something as simple as a mirror can be used in the treatment of phantom limb pain, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and stroke rehabilitation, Mirror therapy is a drug free treatment and has been described in medical literature to be of benefit to 80% of users some even report numbers as high as 95%.
- HOW IT WORKS: Mirror box therapy works by utilizing the visual input of the mirror image of the good limb to replace that of the missing limb to redefine the smudging in the somatosensory cortex and thus reduce phantom pain and sensation.
- PORTABLE MIRROR BOX The mirror box specs is mainly for arm/hand/wrist - may fit small feet, Easy to fold and keep after use too
- AID RECOVERY FOR CRPS: By performing your rehabilitation exercises within the mirror box using both limbs (one within the box and one in front of the mirror) and seeing a mirror image (instead of the injured extremity ) working normally the somatosensory cortex is encouraged to normalize and the threat to movement is reduced.
- RETRAIN THE BRAIN: Patients recovering from surgery following trauma particularly involving the hand may find moving that hand difficult, part of this difficulty is thought to be due to the immobilization smudging the somatosensory cortex. Recent work has shown that using a mirror box as part of the rehab program can facilitate recovery.
