Fig. 1. Time to impairment (  A ) and to abolition (  B ) of the sensations elicited by pinprick, cold, heat, touch, proprioception (Proprio), and motricity (Motor). Times to swelling onset (  dashed line ) and fixed swelling (  continuous line ) are displayed to provide on the same graph meaningful informations regarding both perceptual distortion of body size and shape (swelling illusion), and alterations, then abolition of classic sensations. The  dashed line and the  gray area correspond to the median delay to swelling onset and its 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively. The  continuous line and the  dark gray area correspond to the median delay to fixed swelling and its 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively. Note that when the swelling occurred, the only perceptions altered were pinprick, cold, and heat. Data are presented as median (  bold lines ) and 25th and 75th percentiles (  vertical extension of bars ) and extreme values (  open circle ).
