FAQs
Is the mirror box portable?
Yes the box collapses down to the size of an A4 sheet and
is about 1 cm thick when collapsed.
Does the box require a separate
power source?
No.
Can I do myself harm using mirror
box therapy?
Mirror therapy is not a placebo effect as it reconditions
and retrains the brain to normalise its function. It is important
to understand that asymmetrical movement, keeping one limb
intentionally still whilst moving the other and simultaneously
looking in the mirror at the virtual image may worsen the
condition.
How often should I use the mirror
box?
The short answer is as frequently as is comfortable. All rehabilitation
exercises should be undertaken in a paced and goal oriented
fashion. That is to say that they should be repeated regularly
and built up from a low base. They should be undertaken at
a frequency and intensity, which allows for similar activity
the following day.
What if my therapist has never
