Why do prosthetic limbs feel so hot? new study investigates

This study looked at how people with below-knee amputations sense hot and cold on their skin and how their blood vessels react to temperature changes. Researchers tested 56 participants, including those with and without diabetes, to find the temperature thresholds where warmth or coolness is first noticed. The goal is to understand why prosthetic limbs often cause discomfort and to guide future designs for better temperature control.
