This work assesses the ability of transradial amputees to discriminate multi-site tactile stimuli
in sensory discrimination tasks. It compares different sensory feedback modalities using an …

A multisite, vibrotactile sensory substitution system, that could be used in conjunction with
artificial touch sensors in multifingered prostheses, to deliver sensory feedback to upper limb …

Abstract Study design Qualitative descriptive. Introduction The lack of sensory feedback in
today's hand prostheses has been in focus recently but the amputees' experiences need to …

Background Prosthetic hand users have to rely extensively on visual feedback, which seems
to lead to a high conscious burden for the users, in order to manipulate their prosthetic …

Restoring human hand function by mechatronic means is very challenging in robotics
research. In this paper, we first make a brief review on the development of dexterous …

Electro-or vibro-tactile stimulations were used in the past to provide sensory information in
many different applications ranging from human manual control to prosthetics. The two …

Purpose: This study explores the possibilities of transferring peripheral tactile stimulations
from an artificial hand to the forearm skin. Method: A tactile display applied to the forearm …

The aim of this study was to determine whether virtual training improves grip force control in
prosthesis use, and to examine which type of augmented feedback facilitates its learning …

Background The users of today's commercial prosthetic hands are not given any conscious
sensory feedback. To overcome this deficiency in prosthetic hands we have recently …

Background Consistency is one of the most important concerns to convey stable artificially
induced sensory feedback. However, the constancy of perceived sensations cannot be …
