How To Make A Mirror Box Therapy

Mirror Box Therapy is a type of rehabilitation technique used to treat a variety of conditions, including stroke, phantom limb pain, and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It involves using a mirror to create an illusion of movement in the affected limb, which can help to improve motor control and reduce pain.

To make a mirror box, you will need the following materials:

A cardboard box
A mirror
Scissors
Tape

Instructions:

Cut a hole in the top of the box, large enough for your hand to fit through.
Place the mirror inside the box, at a 45-degree angle.
Tape the mirror in place.
Place your affected hand inside the box, with your palm facing the mirror.
Move your unaffected hand in front of the mirror, as if you were moving your affected hand.

You can use the mirror box for 15-30 minutes each day. It is important to be consistent with your treatment, as it may take several weeks to see results.

Mirror Box Therapy is a safe and effective way to improve motor control and reduce pain. If you are experiencing any of the conditions that can be treated with Mirror Box Therapy, talk to your doctor to see if it is right for you.
