Background The development of bionic legs has seen substantial improvements in the past
years but people with lower-limb amputation still suffer from impairments in mobility (eg …

Research on embodiment of objects external to the human body has revealed important
information about how the human nervous system interacts with robotic lower limb …

For centuries scientists and technologists have sought artificial leg replacements that fully
capture the versatility of their intact biological counterparts. However, biological gait requires …

Our interaction with the world rests on the knowledge that we are a body in space and time,
which can interact with the environment. This awareness is usually referred to as sense of …

The concept of embodiment has gained widespread popularity within prosthetics research.
Embodiment has been claimed to be an indicator of the efficacy of sensory feedback and …

Somatosensory neuroprostheses restore, replace, or enhance tactile and proprioceptive
feedback for people with sensory impairments due to neurological disorders or injury …

Sensory feedback for prosthesis control is typically based on encoding sensory information
in specific types of sensory stimuli that the users interpret to adjust the control of the …

The development of neural interfaces to provide improved control and somatosensory
feedback from prosthetic limbs has initiated a new ability to probe the various dimensions of …

Hemiparetic gait is the most common motor-disorder after stroke and, in spite of
rehabilitation efforts, it is persistent in 50% of community dwelling stroke-survivors. Robotic …

Haptic feedback is the sensory modality to enhance the so-called “immersion”, meant as the
extent to which senses are engaged by the mediated environment during virtual reality …
