Abstract
The effects of Visual Feedback (VF) using a tablet was examined for phantom limb pain after upper limb bilateral amputation. VF was carried out by inserting remaining limbs in a box connected to a tablet. The images on the tablet were movements of the forearm, wrist joints, and fingers. The subject visualized the movements of the amputated limbs in sync with the video. The results indicate that VF provides immediate and sustained pain relief, as well as relief from catastrophic thought of pain. VF may be an effective method because it is easy and convenient for upper limb bilateral amputees who have difficulty intervening with intact hand movements such as mirror therapy.
