American neurologist Silas Weir Mitchell first coined the term ‘Phantom Limb’ in 1871, 1872. The phenomenon in which there is subjective perception that the missing limb is still present is known as phantom limb awareness. Sometimes accompanied with sensory and kinesthetic sensation are known as phantom sensations. These non-nociceptive phantom sensations are conveyed by almost all amputees. Pain in the amputated limb that follows a partial or complete differentiation is known as phantom limb pain, or phantom pain. Phantom limb pain can change because of positioning or movements of the phantom which might be elicited by varying pressure on the residual limb or worsening by psychological factors such as emotional stress.
