Integumentary and Musculoskeletal System Case Study
Several months ago, a young woman fell while rock climbing
and her left leg was wedged tightly into a crevice. The resulting
injury was severe and required amputation below the knee. She has
reported to her
physician that she continues to suffer from phantom limb
pain.
Based on the scenario given above, answer the following:
• What theory explains the type of pain experienced by the
woman described in the scenario?
• Nociceptors are free nerve endings in the afferent
peripheral nervous system (PNS) that selectively respond to
different stimuli. Please categorize according to stimulus which
they respond to and the properties of the nerve fibers associated
with them.
Which fibers would most likely be responsible for causing the
client’s phantom limb pain?
