Sometimes, when a person loses a limb, they still feel like the limb is there, even if it's not. This happens because the brain keeps thinking the limb is still attached. It’s like when you take off your shoes and still feel them on your feet.
Examples
- A person who had their leg amputated still feels like they are walking on it.
- Someone who lost an arm might feel a tingling sensation in the fingers that no longer exist.
- After having their foot removed, a person may feel as if they are standing on wet grass.
