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

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.

Characteristics of Phantom Limb Pain Alleviated with Virtual Reality Rehabilitation.
Pain medicine (Malden, Mass.), 2019OBJECTIVES Neurorehabilitation techniques using virtual reality (VR) systems have recently become widespread as a rehabilitation method for restoring phantom limb movement and alleviating phantom limb pain (PLP).

Background: Phantom limb pain is reported in 50%–85% of people with amputation. Clinical interventions in treating central pain, such as mirror therapy, motor imagery, or virtual visual feedback, could redound in benefits to amputee patients with phantom

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 (PLP) is a clinically relevant consequence of limb amputation and its treatment is still challenging. Mirror therapy, in other words, observing and engaging in the intact limb's mirrored movements, offers a promising, mechanism-based ...
