What is Limb Revive?

LimbRevive uses cutting-edge AR technology to help amputees manage and alleviate phantom limb pain, providing a personalized and immersive experience for lasting relief.

Your Body's Messaging System

Your body has a cool way of letting you know what's happening, like when you stub your toe and it hurts.

This happens because your brain gets messages from your body telling it what's going on.

Missing Messages

Sometimes, if someone loses a body part, like an arm or a leg, those messages can get mixed up.

Even though the body part isn't there anymore, the brain still thinks it is and sends messages as if it were still there.

Feeling Weird Sensations

So, if someone's arm or leg is missing, they might feel strange things in that spot, like tingling, itching, or even pain.

But there's no reason for it because the body part isn't there anymore!

Tricking the Brain

Doctors and scientists are trying to figure out how to help people with these feelings.

Sometimes, they use special treatments or even tricks like mirrors to make the brain realize that the missing body part isn't really there anymore.

Finding Relief

It's like your brain is getting tricked into thinking the missing body part is still there.
