Most prosthetic limbs can autonomously move with dexterity, yet they are not perceived by
the user as belonging to their own body. Robotic limbs can convey information about the …

Neuroprosthetics is a multidisciplinary field at the interface between neurosciences and
biomedical engineering, which aims at replacing or modulating parts of the nervous system …

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 …

Approximately 1.1. billion people worldwide live with some form of disability, and assistive
technology has the potential to increase their overall quality of life. However, the end users' …

One of the main reasons why amputees report poor satisfaction with prostheses is their
excessive weight perceived, 1 despite the fact that they typically weigh less than half of the …

Brain–machine interfaces (BMIs) aim to treat sensorimotor neurological disorders by
creating artificial motor and/or sensory pathways. Introducing artificial pathways creates new …

Although peripheral nerve stimulation using intraneural electrodes has been shown to be an
effective and reliable solution to restore sensory feedback after hand loss, there have been …

The multisensory integration of signals from different senses is crucial to develop an
unambiguous percept of the environment and our body. Losing a limb causes drastic …

Objective. Lower-limb amputees suffer from a variety of health problems, including higher
metabolic consumption and low mobility. These conditions are linked to the lack of a natural …
