Résumé
The association of localized pain sensitivity in the residual limb and prosthesis use has clinical implications, however, rarely been assessed. This study aimed to investigate pain sensitivity and explore its range, variability, and association with prosthesis use alongside other demographic and clinical characteristics of veterans with transtibial amputation. Pain sensitivity was determined as pressure pain threshold (PPT) and pressure tolerance (PT) in 19 male veterans with a mean age of 49.5 years using pressure algometry at 12 anatomical locations on the residual limb. A comparison of pain sensitivity at each location, and among anatomical locations and participants was explored using independent
