Abstract in brief

  • This case study explores using augmented reality (AR) and gaming controlled by myoelectric pattern recognition to treat a patient with chronic phantom limb pain (PLP), who had not responded to other treatments like mirror therapy.
  • The technology enabled the patient to intuitively control a virtual limb, which helped reduce pain and allow the patient to move his phantom limb freely, ultimately leading to a complete pain-free period and a more natural phantom posture.
  • While only a single case, the positive results suggest that this innovative approach could be a promising alternative for patients with resistant PLP, incorporating immersive AR and gaming to enhance treatment outcomes.]
