Mirror Therapy Neurologist Jack Tsao uses mirror therapy to help Army Sergeant Nicholas Paupore at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The reflection of a leg in the mirror seems to take on the identity of the one that is missing, which may help the patient resolve his phantom limb pain. Mirror therapy is a promising development, but further studies are needed to evaluate its efficacy (Moseley, Gallace, & Spence, 2008).
