phantom limb syndrome
Phantom limb syndrome is a condition characterized by the sensory illusion that a limb is still present after it has been amputated. The individual may experience sensations such as pain, movement, heat, cold, or pressure that seem to come from the absent limb. This phenomenon is thought to be a result of the brain's attempt to reorganize sensory information following the amputation.
