Perspectives and possible applications of the rubber hand and virtual hand illusion in non-invasive rehabilitation: Technological improvements and their consequences

- Basic assumptions of rubber hand illusion (RHI) and virtual hand illusion (VHI) are described.
- Possible clinical applications of RHI and VHI are presented.
- Consequences for an effective evaluation are necessary because of no standardization in reporting results.
- Influences of technological issues (immersion, acceptance, etc.) are discussed.
