A fit and well 29-year-old man underwent a right above-knee amputation in 1976 as a result of severe trauma sustained in a road traffic accident. After rehabilitation, he remained well and mobilized independently with his prosthesis. Twenty nine years later he was admitted to hospital for an infection of his stump following minor trauma. There was no

Experimental Neurology, 1973
Abstract The presence of a phantom arm that resembles the descriptions of phantom limbs by amputees and paraplegics is reported by human subjects who receive an anesthetic block of the sensory and motor nerves of the arm. When the subject's eyes are closed, the position of the phantom arm is reported to be at the side or above the abdomen or lower ...

Physical Therapy Reviews, 1999
AbstractA body-image disturbance observed in most patients who undergo amputation of a limb is the perception of having the missing limb. The phenomenon is known as ‘phantom limb’. Despite a vast clinical literature on painless and painful phantom limb sensations, little is known about their origin.

SUMMARY1. Phantom limb pain and sensations are common in amputees. The present paper defines phantom limb pain, stump pain and phantom limb sensation and then gives an overview of the incidence and characteristics of the phenomena.2. Theories of phantoms are presented, including peripheral, central and supraspinal theories, with particular attention ...

Structured movement representations of a phantom limb associated with phantom limb pain
Neuroscience Letters, 2015The relation between phantom limb pain (PLP) and the movement representation of a phantom limb remains controversial in several areas of neurorehabilitation, although there are a few studies in which the representation of phantom limb movement was precisely evaluated.

Phantom limb pain occurs following limb amputations and is characterzed by pain emanating from the no longer existing limb. In many cases, this problem develops into pervasive chronic pain impairing the amputees' quality of life. In this article, we describe phenomena observable in amputees and distinguish phantom limb pain from non-painful phantom ...

Acupuncture Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain and Phantom Limb Sensation in Amputees
Acupuncture in Medicine, 2004Three case histories are presented in which amputees with acute or chronic phantom limb pain and phantom limb sensation were treated with Western medical acupuncture, needling the asymptomatic intact limb. Two out of the three cases reported complete relief of their phantom limb pain and phantom limb sensation.
