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 …

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 …

Sensory impairments decrease quality of life and can slow or hinder rehabilitation. Small,
computationally powerful electronics have enabled the recent development of wearable …

According to amputees, sensory feedback is amongst the most important features lacking
from commercial prostheses. Although restoration of touch by means of implantable neural …

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 …

Wearable sensing gloves and sensory feedback devices that record and enhance the
sensations of the hand are used in healthcare, prosthetics, robotics, and virtual reality …

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

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 …
