“Many amputees report⟳ that they are able to perform⟳ voluntary movements of their phantom, which generally increase⟳ the vividness of the sensations; immobility and involuntary movements are also common. Broadly, phantom sensations can be categorized into kinetic, kinesthetic, and exteroceptive components. Kinetic sensations include⟳ voluntary or involuntary perceptions of movement, kinesthetic sensations include⟳ the position and shape⟳ of the missing body part, while exteroceptive perceptions include⟳ sensory aspects such as touch⟳, temperature, and vibration. The phantom limb typically mimics the sensory experience⟳ of the missing limb with amputees even reporting feeling that the limb is wet⟳, sweaty, or tickly.”
