Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Age 18+ Right-handed (according to Edinburg Handedness Inventory; amputees have to fill in the situation before amputation) For experimental group: amputated right arm (above elbow), longer than 1 year before the study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Damage to the brain Noncompliance with MRI safety check list (claustrophobia, metal in the body, etc.)

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Functional connectivity (both within and between the left and right motor hand area in amputees and controls) obtained by resting-state fMRI will serve as a measure for cortical reorganisation. The results will be compared between the amputation and control groups.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Not applicable.	—
