Seems like one potential interesting application should be the treatment of Phantom limb syndrome [1]. This is the sensation that a amputated limb is still attached, and sufferers often experience pain.
One treatment is the use of a mirror box. I guess this somehow lets them feel like they can move the limb, and in some cases results in reduced pain.
A VR "mirror" box or other therapy, might be even better.
