MIRROR THERAPY was invented by Vilayanur S. Ramachandran (Indian - American neuroscientist) to help alleviate the Phantom limb pain, in which patients feel they still have a pain in the limb even after having it amputated. The principle of mirror therapy (MT) is the use of a mirror to create a reflective illusion of an affected limb in order to trick the brain into thinking movement has occurred without pain. It involves placing the affected limb behind a mirror, which is sited so the reflection of the opposing limb appears in place of the hidden limb.This approach exploits the brain’s preference to prioritise visual feedback over somatosensory/proprioceptive feedback concerning limb position. In conditions such as phantom limb pain (PLP), stroke, or chronic regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS1) where neuropathic processes cause issues with pain, related or unrelated to movement, this approach is thought to offer potential relief.
