Examination of anticipated chemical shift and shape distortion effect on materials commonly used in prosthetic socket fabrication when measured using MRI: a validation study [PDF]
, 2013 The quality of lower-limb prosthetic socket fit is influenced by shape and volume consistency during the residual limb shape-capturing process (i.e., casting). Casting can be quantified with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology.

A Survey of Frozen Phantom Limb Experiences: Are Experiences Compatible With Current Theories
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 There are over two million individuals living with amputations in the United States. Almost all will experience the feeling of the amputated limb as still present, termed phantom limb sensation (PLS).

More than skin deep: body representation beyond primary somatosensory cortex [PDF]
, 2010 The neural circuits underlying initial sensory processing of somatic information are relatively well understood. In contrast, the processes that go beyond primary somatosensation to create more abstract representations related to the body are less clear.

Use of Calcitonin in Recalcitrant Phantom Limb Pain Complicated by Heterotopic Ossification
Pain Research and Management, 2015 A common complication following amputation is phantom sensation, which may include experiencing pain in the phantom limb. This study details the management of phantom limb pain in a 72-year-old man, in whom comorbid heterotopic ossification was present ...
