The journey of a prosthetic user is characterized by the opportunities and the limitations of a
device that should enable activities of daily living (ADL). In particular, experiencing a bionic …

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 …

Bionic prostheses have restorative potential. However, the complex interplay between
intuitive motor control, proprioception, and touch that represents the hallmark of human …

We report the use of a bone-anchored, self-contained robotic arm with both sensory and
motor components over 3 to 7 years in four patients after transhumeral amputation. The …

Purpose Rates of prosthetic device abandonment are dramatically high; however, the
reasons behind abandonment are less understood. A sco** review was conducted to …

Restoring somatosensory feedback to people with limb amputations is crucial to improve
prosthetic control. Multiple studies have demonstrated that peripheral nerve stimulation and …

Background Understanding how prostheses are used in everyday life is central to the
design, provision and evaluation of prosthetic devices and associated services. This paper …

The term embodiment has become omnipresent within prosthetics research and is often
used as a metric of the progress made in prosthetic technologies, as well as a hallmark for …

Loss of tactile sensation is a common occurrence in patients with traumatic peripheral nerve
injury or soft tissue loss, but as yet, solutions for restoring such sensation are limited …

Somatosensory neuroprostheses restore, replace, or enhance tactile and proprioceptive
feedback for people with sensory impairments due to neurological disorders or injury …
