Videotape recording was used as an additional aid in the walking training of lower limb amputees. Fifty patients were interviewed about their reaction to watching themselves on a TV monitor, especially with respect to any negative or depressive feelings resulting from the TV sessions. No such reactions could be elicited among the examined patients.
