Following arm amputation the region that represented the missing hand in primary
somatosensory cortex (S1) becomes deprived of its primary input, resulting in changed …

Recent advances in the field of neural rehabilitation, facilitated through technological
innovation and improved neurophysiological knowledge of impaired motor control, have …

Objective: To compare targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) to “standard treatment” of
neuroma excision and burying into muscle for postamputation pain. Summary Background …

Background A majority of the nearly 2 million Americans living with limb loss suffer from
chronic pain in the form of neuroma-related residual limb and phantom limb pain (PLP) …

Despite previous studies on the restoration of tactile sensation to the fingers and the hand,
there are no examples of use of the routed sensory information to finely control a prosthestic …

Background: Approximately 200,000 people undergo a lower extremity amputation each
year. Following amputation, patients suffer from chronic pain, inability to ambulate, and high …

Neurological insults, such as congenital blindness, deafness, amputation, and stroke, often
result in surprising and impressive behavioural changes. Cortical reorganisation, which …

Background We describe a multidisciplinary approach for comprehensive care of amputees
with concurrent targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) at the time of amputation. Methods Our …

Purpose Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a technique for the management of
peripheral nerves in amputation. Phantom limb pain (PLP) and residual limb pain (RLP) …

Abstract Purpose of Review The complexity of the human extremity, particularly the upper
extremity and the hand, allows us to interact with the world. Prosthetists have struggled to …
