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 …

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 …

One of the challenges facing prosthetic designers and engineers is to restore the missing
sensory function inherit to hand amputation. Several different techniques can be employed …

Any implant or prosthesis replacing a function or functions of an organ or group of organs
should be biologically and sensorily integrated with the human body in order to increase …

Advances in our understanding of brain function, along with the development of neural
interfaces that allow for the monitoring and activation of neurons, have paved the way for …

Introduction: The constant challenge to restore sensory feedback in prosthetic hands has
provided several research solutions, but virtually none has reached clinical fruition. A …

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 …

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 …

Objective. The goal of this study is to characterize the phenomenon of evoked tactile
sensation (ETS) on the stump skin of forearm amputees using transcutaneous electrical …

For those individuals with upper-extremity amputation, a daily normal living activity is no
longer possible or it requires additional effort and time. With the aim of restoring their …
