This manuscript reviews historical and recent studies that focus on supplementary sensory
feedback for use in upper limb prostheses. It shows that the inability of many studies to …

Purpose Rates of prosthetic device abandonment are dramatically high; however, the
reasons behind abandonment are less understood. A scoping review was conducted to …

Bionic prostheses have restorative potential. However, the complex interplay between
intuitive motor control, proprioception, and touch that represents the hallmark of human …

We report the use of a bone-anchored, self-contained robotic arm with both sensory and
motor components over 3 to 7 years in four patients after transhumeral amputation. The …

Artificial communication with the brain through peripheral nerve stimulation shows promising
results in individuals with sensorimotor deficits. However, these efforts lack an intuitive and …

Conventional prosthetic arms suffer from poor controllability and lack of sensory feedback.
Owing to the absence of tactile sensory information, prosthetic users must rely on incidental …

Proprioception plays a key role in moving our body dexterously and effortlessly.
Nevertheless, the majority of investigations evaluating the benefits of providing …

Direct stimulation of peripheral nerves with implantable electrodes successfully provided
sensory feedback to amputees while using hand prostheses. Longevity of the electrodes is …

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are devices that interface with the brain to enable
interaction with the environment. BCIs have the potential to improve the quality of life for …

Background Hand amputation can have a truly debilitating impact on the life of the affected
person. A multifunctional myoelectric prosthesis controlled using pattern classification can …
