Where is my arm? Investigating the link between complex regional pain syndrome and poor localisation of the affected limb.

Our first two hypotheses were not supported. Our third hypothesis was supported -when visually and proprioceptively encoded positions of the hands were incongruent (i.e. after the DHT), relocalisation performance was worse with the affected hand than it was with the unaffected hand. The similar results in hand localisation in the control and pain groups might suggest that, when implicit processes are required, people with CRPS' ability to localise their limb is preserved.
