Mirror Therapy for the Management of Phantom Limb Pain: A Single- Center Experience.

Background: Phantom limb pain (PLP) can have devastating consequences, affecting up to 90% of amputees. PLP is associated with analgesia dependence and impaired quality of life. Mirror therapy (MT) is a novel treatment that has been applied in other pain syndromes.

Synthetic vision systems: the effects of guidance symbology, display size, and field of view.

Two experiments conducted in a high-fidelity flight simulator examined the effects of guidance symbology, display size, and geometric field of view (GFOV) within a synthetic vision system (SVS). In Experiment 1, 18 pilots flew highlighted and low-lighted tunnel-in-the-sky displays, as well as a less cluttered follow-me aircraft (FMA), through a series of curved approaches over rugged terrain. The results revealed that both tunnels supported better flight path tracking and lower workload levels than did the FMA because of the availability of more preview information.
