Commercial prosthetic devices currently do not provide natural sensory information on the
interaction with objects or movements. The subsequent disadvantages include …

Individuals who have lost the use of their hands because of amputation or spinal cord injury
can use prosthetic hands to restore their independence. A dexterous prosthesis requires the …

Current myoelectric prostheses allow transradial amputees to regain voluntary motor control
of their artificial limb by exploiting residual muscle function in the forearm. However, the …

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 …

The desire for functional replacement of a missing hand is an ancient one. Historically,
humans have replaced a missing limb with a prosthesis for cosmetic, vocational, or personal …

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

Lower limb amputation (LLA) destroys the sensory communication between the brain and
the external world during standing and walking. Current prostheses do not restore sensory …

Informational density and relative accessibility of the peripheral nervous system make it an
attractive site for therapeutic intervention. Electrode-based electrophysiological interfaces …

Objective Hand amputation is a highly disabling event, which significantly affects quality of
life. An effective hand replacement can be achieved if the user, in addition to motor …

In individuals with sensory-motor impairments, missing limb functions can be restored using
neuroprosthetic devices that directly interface with the nervous system. However, restoring …
