Feeling (in)complete: neural correlates of perceived body integrity in individuals with lower limb amputation

Appropriate multimodal sensory stimulation can strengthen the sense of body integrity in most individuals with lower limb amputation. This effect appears to be mediated by the brain's capacity for sensory integration within the body representation network. These insights advance our understanding of prosthesis-related experiences and may inform the development of improved prosthetic devices that employ non-invasive somatosensory feedback, thereby promoting positive rehabilitative outcomes through enhanced prosthesis embodiment.
