Towards the implementation of home-based phantom limb pain training facilitated by a textile-electrode system: lessons learned from a pilot study
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2026

Phantom limb pain (PLP) affects many individuals with limb loss and often requires long-term treatment. Phantom motor execution (PME), which involves decoding phantom movements through myoelectric pattern recognition and real-time feedback, often delivered via extended reality (XR), has shown promise in reducing PLP. However, its use in home settings is limited by usability and the cost of traditional disposable (Ag/AgCl) electrodes. Textile-electrode systems may offer a more user-friendly and sustainable alternative, improving the practicality of home-based PLP training.
