As always, the main educational target was phantom limb pain and phantom limb sensation and how the method of Mirror Therapy based on ETPP guidelines, deals with those problems. Spasticity affecting limb function and CRPS in persons suffering from hemiparesis, as n.fecialis paralysis, were also shown be helped with Mirror Therapy to achieve rehabilitation goals.

The outcome was that twenty-five Serbian physiotherapists were certified as Mirror Therapists, Seventeen attendants were from within the clinic, and the remainder from northern and central Serbia. Three of these physiotherapists were from the near-by Prosthetic Clinic.
