A: This app provides users with easy-to-follow instructions on how
to use a technique called Graded Motor Imagery. Graded Motor
Imagery is a 3-step process that uses evidence-based research to
prime the central nervous system for maximal neuroplasticity,
allowing the user to effectively rewire their brain to reduce
their unwanted symptoms.
The first step in the process is Laterality. This requires the
user to identify between a L and a R body part while being timed
for efficiency and accuracy.
Once this level is mastered, the user can proceed to the next
step: Imagined Movements. In this stage, the user is prompted to
imagine themselves moving the affected body part in a pain-free
way. The movements will start out simple and get progressively
more complex as the user is ready to progress.
Once the Imagined Movements level has been mastered, the user
progresses to the final stage of GMI: Mirror Therapy. This stage
utilizes cells in the brain known as mirror neurons. Once this
final level is mastered, the user should be able to move their
body in any way they want without experiencing any of their
previous symptoms.
Remember, these techniques should be completed with guidance and
supervision of a healthcare professional.
A: The app follows the principles of Graded Motor Imagery which is
an evidence-based technique to create neuroplastic changes in the
brain to address chronic centralized pain, phantom limb syndrome,
and Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome.
It provides a timer; interactive Q&A for quizzing the user; short
clips of body movements for watching; guided prompts for imagining
scenarios; body-positive affirmations; body scans; and
meditations. This app tracks progress, sends notifications, and is
gamified for increased compliance.
A: This answer depends on what level the user is on and how severe
their symptoms are.
For Laterality, the app should be used at least 5 times a day for
at least 5 minutes at a time.
For Motor Imagery, the app should be used for 2 hours a day for at
least 2 weeks.
Finally, the Mirror Therapy should be completed every day for at
least 20 minutes until the user is symptom-free.
This app also contains a reminder feature that can be activated
and follows the above guidelines for the user's convenience.
A: The user should proceed in order from Laterality Training to Imagined Movements to Mirror Therapy.
