Summary
In 1984, Oliver Sacks wrote about his recovery from a leg injury that was, in part, characterised by a disproportionate inability to control the limb (Sacks, 1984; Stone et al., 2012) reappraisal of his experience captures his perplexity, anxiety and self-evaluation while accepting that his persistent symptoms seemed to have a psychological cause.
