Differences in phantom limb, residual limb, and bodily pain during pain recall and increasing activity intensity in persons with unilateral lower limb amputation.

Key Points

• The research aims to understand how different types of pain affect individuals with unilateral lower limb amputations during various activities.
• Examined pain experiences in individuals with unilateral lower limb amputation
• Compared pain subtypes: phantom limb, residual limb, and bodily pains
• Analyzed pain responses at different activity intensities
• Different pain types influenced overall pain self-evaluation
• Activity levels affected pain experiences in those using socket prostheses
• Pain subtypes were less distinct in individuals with bone-anchored limbs
