Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This cross-sectional study investigates the prevalence of phantom limb telescoping and its association with pain intensity, interference, and psychosocial outcomes in 51 adults with limb loss. The authors report that while telescoping is more common in younger individuals and those with specific upper-limb amputations, it correlates with higher anxiety and depression symptoms despite lower reported pain intensity. The resource provides descriptive data on these correlations for researchers or clinicians interested in the psychosocial aspects of phantom limb phenomena.
