Monday Mirror Box Therapy!
Nerve laceration patient has injured hand in the box and is watching the reflection of healthy hand as both attempt to perform the same movements. Method is used to fool the brain into allowing the injured hand to move similarly as the healthy hand.
Although oftentimes used in therapy to reprogram the brain to label a pain signal as nonpainful, in this instance we are using the mirror box to encourage movement due to a lack of sensation.🪞🖐😊 #mirrorbox #reflection #sensation #novahandtherapy
