phantom limb pain fight with augmented reality. That can, so have scientists at the Swedish Chalmers University of Technology discovered. Pain that people feel in amputated body parts, with the help of augmented reality, be driven away, as had appeared from fourteen test cases.
For those who didn’t know: augmented reality is for images with an addition to reality. So you see on your screen in the real world supplemented with, for example, sensor data or additional information about the environment. But you also see it more and more back in games, such as the overpopulaire Pokémon Go, where you have the Pokémon on the street.
Transform
The technique in this trial was, however, a bit more advanced. The subjects were namely sensors on their bodies, who are able to follow the instructions of the muscles to analyze. Then, those signals are transformed to actions of the missing arm or other body part on a television screen, such as hand and wrist movement.
By the simulation to combine with webcam images, there was augmented reality, where the subjects so their arm saw. They could even play games. So they could drive a car in a racing game, where 'hand-open' throttle and 'fist' brakes.
The fourteen studied persons were subjected to all twelve sessions, after which the phantom limb pain was taken with fifty percent. They also taught that their daily activities and sleep until half less disturbed were for the sessions.
Less medication
Chalmers University is very pleased with the results, especially since the patients that if subjects were not using any of the other methods helped. Four of them had drugs, but since the use of augmented reality is their intake of them also very much reduced.
finally, it is positive that the method is a long-term effect seems to have. Six months after the sessions brands the patients still the results of the test.
