The Post-operative Analgesia of the Virtual Reality Using a Mirror Therapy After Total Knee Arthroplasty
The Post-operative Analgesia of the Virtual Reality Using a Mirror Therapy After Total Knee Arthroplasty
It was well known that the mirror therapy could decrease pain of upper-limb amputated
 patients.

 The mirror therapy is known to make a plastic change some parts of the brain perceiving the
 painful body part and modulating its signal by feedback of visual information mirrored with
 the corresponding contra-lateral normal parts.

 In this study, post-operative analgesic efficiency of the virtual reality using a mirror
 therapy after total knee arthroplasty will be evaluated.

 This clinical trial will be performed in the form of prospective, single-blind (i.e.
 assessor-blind), parallel group, randomized (allocation ratio 1:1), single cohort.
