- abstract = "Myoelectric data were collected from 10 below-elbow limb-deficient volunteers for evaluation of a myoelectric prosthesis control system. Five had congenital limb deficiency and five had traumatic limb loss. The traumatic-loss volunteers all had phantom limbs, whereas the congenitally deficient volunteers reported no phantom limb experiences before the data collection. Unexpectedly, the congenitally deficient volunteers began to feel phantom-like sensations of their missing hands during the data collection, which used contralateral stimulation. Some described limits on their new perceptions remarkably similar to the phantom motion limits described by traumatic amputees (i.e., difficulty in fully opening and closing the phantom's fingers). Significant changes occurred in the volunteers' myoelectric data signatures after they began to feel the phantoms.( J Prosthet Orthot . 2009;21:145-151.)",
