Augmented reality may help amputees deal with phantom limb pain

Amputees suffering from phantom limb pain may see relief with the help of an augmented reality game that utilizes the muscle signals from the patient´s stump and translates it into actual limb action that the patient can see and control on the screen. Ture Johanson, who has lived with phantom limb pain for 48 years, has tried out this system and said that his pain has been significantly alleviated.
