AS vs Phantom Rehab

AS Mirror is used to support your mirror therapy. Please always use this app with exercises and instructions from your treating therapist. AS Mirror helps you do your exercises in places where you can't take a mirror with you. Mirror therapy is one of the forms of treatment used in imagination therapies and is currently used mainly after a stroke, in pain syndromes (phantom pain) after amputations and in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). There are also the following areas of application: • Multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease (prerequisite here is the presence of an intact extremity) • Traumatic brain injury and brain tumors • Peripheral nerve injuries • Post-operative and/or post-traumatic pain and hypersensitivity (e.g. after a distal radius fracture) Mirror therapy addresses specific areas in the brain that have a positive influence on the perception of pain. The optical illusion creates the impression in the brain that the affected body part can be moved and controlled. As a result, pain-free movement of the affected side is suggested to the brain. Through repeated use, the brain learns to reassign pain and discomfort in the affected body part. Features: • Flip left side to right and right side to left • Stopwatch and countdown for time control* • Flip live stream horizontally and vertically • Crop live stream • VR mode for hands-free use* * You can unlock this free app to use it without advertisement and with all features.

Phantom Rehab is a comprehensive therapy application designed to help individuals manage and reduce phantom limb pain through the scientifically-backed Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) approach. Disclaimer: Phantom Rehab is intended to be used as a supportive tool for rehabilitation. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult with your doctor or qualified healthcare provider before starting this program or making any medical decisions. The app guides users through a structured three-step rehabilitation process: 1. Laterality Training: Practice identifying left and right body parts to improve body awareness while being timed for efficiency and accuracy. 2. Motor Training: Progress to imagining pain-free movements of the affected body part, starting with simple motions and advancing to more complex ones. The app provides videos of others performing movements for users who find imagining movements difficult initially. 3. Mirror Training: Utilize your device's camera as a mirror to create the illusion that your unaffected limb is actually your affected limb, engaging mirror neurons to help rewire neural pathways. For optimal results, the app should be used according to the recommended schedule: • Laterality: 5 minutes, 5 times daily • Motor Imagery: 2 hours daily for at least 2 weeks • Mirror Therapy: 20 minutes daily until symptom-free Term of Use: https: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
