The aim of the study is the measurement of the short term effect of post surgical mirror therapy concerning pain intensity and frequency of patients with upper or lower amputation in comparison to standard occupational or physical therapy. The hypothesis is that patients in the intervention group (mirror therapy) suffer significantly less from phantom limb pain and pain attacks within a follow-up period of 4-8 weeks.
