Descriptive Study of Receptive Fields in Lower Limb Amputees

Lower Limb Amputation Below Knee (Injury) Clinical Trial

Official title:
Descriptive Study of Receptive Fields in Lower Limb Amputees and the Effect of a Related Stimulation System on Selected Gait Parameters

Clinical Trial Summary

It has been observed that patients subjected to amputations develop so called receptive fields, which time of occurrence and localization over time are yet not examined systematically.

This clinical trial aims to investigate the reliability in detecting these receptive fields as well as their incidence and changes over time.

Further it aims to evaluate the acute effect of a stimulating system ("Phantom Stimulator" (Cort X Sensorics, Spaichingen, Germany)) on selected gait parameters measured tough a gait analysis system ("OprtoGait" (Microgate, Bolzano, Italy)) as well as on phantom sensations measured through a questionnaire.

Clinical Trial Description

It has been observed that patients subjected to amputations develop so called receptive fields, which time of occurrence and localization over time are yet not examined systematically.

A receptive field is defined as skin area anywhere on the same side of the body as the amputation, which when stimulated by others, causes phantom sensations in the amputated extremity.

This clinical trial aims to investigate the reliability in detecting these receptive fields as well as their incidence and changes over time.

Further it aims to evaluate the acute effect of the stimulating system ("Phantom Stimulator" (Cort X Sensorics, Spaichingen, Germany)) on selected gait parameters measured tough a gait analysis system ("OprtoGait" (Microgate, Bolzano, Italy)) as well as on phantom sensations measured through a questionnaire. ;
