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 …

Neurological insults, such as congenital blindness, deafness, amputation, and stroke, often
result in surprising and impressive behavioural changes. Cortical reorganisation, which …

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

We describe use of a bidirectional neuromyoelectric prosthetic hand that conveys
biomimetic sensory feedback. Electromyographic recordings from residual arm muscles …

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 …

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 …

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

Background Phantom limb pain (PLP)—pain felt in the amputated limb–is often
accompanied by significant suffering. Estimates of the burden of PLP have provided …

Informational density and relative accessibility of the peripheral nervous system make it an
attractive site for therapeutic intervention. Electrode-based electrophysiological interfaces …

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 …
