PDF-(READ)-Phantom Limb: Amputation, Embodiment, and Prosthetic Technology (Biopolitics, 16)

Phantom limb pain is one of the most intractable and merciless pains ever knowna pain that haunts appendages that do not physically exist often persisting with uncanny realness long after fleshy limbs have been traumatically surgically or congenitally lost The very existence and naturalness of this pain has been instrumental in modern sciences ability to create prosthetic technologies that many feel have transformative selfactualizing and even transcendent power In Phantom Limb Cassandra S Crawford critically examines phantom limb pain and its relationship to prosthetic innovation tracing the major shifts in knowledge of the causes and characteristics of the phenomenonCrawford exposes how the meanings of phantom limb pain have been influenced by developments in prosthetic science and ideas about the extraordinary power of these technologies to liberate and fundamentally alter the human body mind and spirit Through intensive observation at a prosthetic clinic interviews with key researchers and clinicians and an analysis of historical and contemporary psychological and medical literature she examines the modernization of amputation and exposes how medical understanding about phantom limbs has changed from the late19th to the early21st century Crawford interrogates the impact of advances in technology medicine psychology and neuroscience as well as changes in the meaning of limb loss popular representations of amputees and corporeal ideology Phantom Limb questions our most deeply held ideas of what is normal natural and even moral about the physical human body.

The main objective in the rehabilitation of people following amputation is to restore or improve their functioning, which includes their return to work. Full-time employment leads to beneficial health effects and being healthy leads to increased chances of full-time employment (Ross and Mirowskay 1995). Employment of disabled people enhances their self-esteem and reduces social isolation (Dougherty 1999). The importance of returning to work for people following amputation the- fore has to be considered. Perhaps the first article about reemployment and problems people may have at work after amputation was published in 1955 (Boynton 1955). In later years, there have been sporadic studies on this topic. Greater interest and more studies about returning to work and problems people have at work following amputation arose in the 1990s and has continued in recent years (Burger and Marinc ?ek 2007). These studies were conducted in different countries on all the five continents, the greatest number being carried out in Europe, mainly in the Netherlands and the UK (Burger and Marinc ?ek 2007). Owing to the different functions of our lower and upper limbs, people with lower limb amputations have different activity limitations and participation restrictions compared to people with upper limb amputations. Both have problems with driving and carrying objects. People with lower limb amputations also have problems standing, walking, running, kicking, turning and stamping, whereas people with upper limb amputations have problems grasping, lifting, pushing, pulling, writing, typing, and pounding (Giridhar et al. 2001). Amputation is a procedure where a part of the limb is removed, partly or totally from the body through one or more bones.. Amputation is more common in men and more often in the lower limb..
