  • System and method for treating chronic pain
    Patent number: 7771343
    Abstract: In a method and system for treating pain or impairment a video imaging device obtains image frames of a continuous portion of the patient's body including a selected impaired member in proper spatial relationship to a facial image of the patient. A processor coupled to the imaging device processes the image frames to form composite image frames in substantially real time wherein the impaired member is replaced by a virtual image of a corresponding healthy member so as to depict the imaged portion of the patient's body performing healthy movement of the selected impaired member. An interface is coupled to the processor for controlling virtual movement of the impaired limb in the composite image frames, and a display screen is coupled to the processor for displaying at least some of the composite image frames in substantially real time synchronism with operation of the interface.
