Dexterous hand movement is possible due to closed loop control dependent on efferent
motor output and afferent sensory feedback. This control strategy is significantly altered in …

It has been widely recognized that closed-loop neuroprosthetic systems achieve more
favorable outcomes for users then equivalent open-loop devices. Improved performance of …

We present a case study of a novel variation of the targeted sensory reinnervation technique
that provides additional control over sensory restoration after transhumeral amputation. The …

Abstract Force Sensitive Resistors (FSRs) are commercially available thin film polymer
sensors commonly employed in a multitude of biomechanical measurement environments …

The aim of this paper was to demonstrate the functionality of an inexpensive mechanotactile
sensory feedback system for transhumeral myoelectric prostheses. We summarize the …

Amputation destroys sensory end organs and does not provide an anatomical interface for
cutaneous neuroprosthetic feedback. Here, we report the design and a biomechanical and …

Objective. Providing sensory feedback to the user of the prosthesis is an important
challenge. The common approach is to use tactile stimulation, which is easy to implement …

The Modular Prosthetic Limb (MPL) was examined for its feasibility and usability as an
advanced, dexterous upper extremity prosthesis with surface electromyography (sEMG) …

Background: Phantom limb pain (PLP) is commonly seen following upper extremity (UE)
amputation. Use of both mirror therapy, which utilizes limb reflection in a mirror, and virtual …

Worldwide prevalence of amputation has created an increasing demand for improved upper
and lower extremity prostheses. Current prosthetics are often uncomfortable and difficult to …
