Axolo Health offers the TBRx platform, a hands‑free, gaze‑controlled extended reality therapy that guides amputees through four progressive, at‑home exercises to retrain brain pathways and reduce phantom limb pain. The solution combines VR/AR limb simulation, motor imagery, and mirror therapy in clinically validated protocols, providing a non‑opioid alternative for patients and a scalable tool for rehabilitation providers.

Problem
Phantom limb pain affects up to 80% of amputees, causing chronic discomfort, sleep disruption, and reduced quality of life. Traditional treatments such as medication, mirror therapy, and surgery address symptoms but often fail to target the underlying brain reorganization that drives the pain.
Solution
Axolo Health’s TBRx platform delivers a hands‑free, gaze‑controlled extended reality (XR) therapy that retrains the brain after amputation. The system combines proven techniques—laterality recognition, guided motor imagery, reimagined mirror therapy, and motor execution—within immersive VR/AR environments that simulate realistic limb movement. Patients progress through four phased exercises at home, with visual and proprioceptive feedback that helps the brain “re‑learn” the missing limb and reduce phantom sensations. The therapy is evidence‑based, developed by physicians, and designed to be non‑opioid, offering a scalable, at‑home solution that can be integrated into existing rehabilitation programs.
Target Audience
Primary users are amputees experiencing phantom limb pain and healthcare providers (physiatrists, orthopedic surgeons, prosthetists, occupational therapists) seeking an evidence‑based, at‑home therapy option for their patients.
Features
- Hands‑free, gaze‑controlled XR experience eliminating the need for external controllers
- Four progressive therapy phases (laterality recognition, guided motor imagery, VR mirror therapy, motor execution) tailored to individual rehabilitation needs
- Realistic limb simulation in VR/AR that provides visual feedback of the missing limb’s movement
- At‑home deployment with cloud‑based guidance and optional virtual therapist support
- Clinically backed protocols developed by physicians, incorporating mirror therapy and graded motor imagery
- Non‑opioid approach aimed at reducing reliance on pain medication
