The reduced access conditions of minimally invasive surgery and therapy (MIST) impair or
completely eliminate the feel of tool—tissue interaction forces. Many researchers have been …

Many of the currently available myoelectric forearm prostheses stay unused because of the
lack of sensory feedback. Vibrotactile and electrotactile stimulation have high potential to …

We present a new wearable haptic device that provides a sense of position and motion by
inducing rotational skin stretch on the user's skin. In the experiments described in this paper …

We present the results of experiments to compare vibration and skin stretch in a virtual
proprioception task in which subjects used a force sensor to control the movement of a …

Proprioception plays a crucial role in enabling humans to move purposively and interact with
their physical surroundings. Current technology in upper-limb prostheses, while beginning …

Supernumerary Robotics Limbs, or SuperLimbs for short, are wearable extra limbs for
augmenting the wearer. SuperLimbs are attached directly to a human and, thereby, transmit …

Background Postural control deficits are common in stroke survivors and often the
rehabilitation programs include balance training based on visual feedback to improve the …

Adjusting to an amputation can often times be difficult for the body. Post-surgery, amputees
not only have to incur expensive rehabilitation treatment costs, but also have to wait for up to …

This study compares the Weber fraction for human perception of stiffness among three
conditions: vision, proprioceptive motion feedback, and their combination. To make …

Sensory feedback and the required attentional demands are important aspects in prosthesis
acceptance. In this study, hand-opening feedback is provided and the performance in a …
