Abstract
Previous studies suggest autonomic dysfunction in amputees, yet the methodology for testing this is problematic. The common techniques of sympathetic skin response and skin conduction response require soles, palms and digits, so we further investigated the use of quantitative InfraRed Telethermography (qIRT) to assess vasomotor (sympathetic) tone. In prior work, IRT demonstrates residual limbs of amputees are significantly cooler than contralateral intact limbs. This study investigates provocative IRT (pIRT) to assess sympathetic (vasomotor) responsiveness in residual vs.
