| Bob & Mirror Therapy |
Bob's Occupational Therapist made him this "mirror box" although it isn't a box, it's a spiral notebook with a mirror pasted on it.
The idea here is to create an illusion that his right hand is moving and this will trick his brain into thinking the hand/arm is moving, and (hopefully) the hand/arm will begin to move.
He's supposed to do this ten minutes a day.
