Agency over Phantom Limb Enhanced by Short-Term Mirror Therapy
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 Most amputees experience phantom limb, whereby they feel that the amputated limb is still present. In some cases, these experiences include pain that can be alleviated by “mirror therapy.” Mirror therapy consists of superimposing a mirrored image of the ...
