Applications on Graded Motor Imagery
Lincoln Nguyen
Karuna Labs Inc, US
Our applications bring graded motor imagery and mirror therapy to virtual reality, allowing for clinician control over direction of
mirroring, smoothness of movement, gain and activity levels. It is aimed at patients who suffer from: 1) Lower Back Pain 2) Sport
injuries 3) Repetitive Stress Injuries 4) Cervical Pain (e.g., “whiplash”) 5) Stroke-Related Pain 6) Fibromyalgia 7) Complex Regional
Pain Syndrome (CRPS) 8) Phantom Limb Pain.
Karuna’s analytics platform captures individual patients’ movements based on motion tracking technology. We run machine-learning
algorithms on in order to personalize the therapy session. Motion is tracked with a Leap Motion camera affixed to an HTC Vive
headset. The mirror therapy/guided imagery application is written in the Unity Framework.
