Our expanding expertise in peripheral nerve regeneration and soft tissue reconstruction is
enabling the development of novel innervated tissue constructs that can be combined with …

Background Patient access to body-powered and myoelectric upper limb prostheses in the
United States is often restricted by a healthcare system that prioritizes prosthesis …

Multimodal sensory feedback from upper-limb prostheses can increase their function and
usability. Here we show that intuitive thermal perceptions during cold-object grasping with a …

Despite recent technological advances that have led to sophisticated bionic prostheses,
attaining embodied solutions still remains a challenge. Recently, the investigation of …

Significant advances in bionic prosthetics have occurred in the past two decades. The field's
rapid expansion has yielded many exciting technologies that can enhance the physical …

Background Individual motor units have been imaged using ultrafast ultrasound based on
separating ultrasound images into motor unit twitches (unfused tetanus) evoked by the …

In the field of sensory neuroprostheses, one ultimate goal is for individuals to perceive
artificial somatosensory information and use the prosthesis with high complexity that …

Background: Prosthetic embodiment is the perception of the prosthesis as a part of the body,
and it is important for acceptance and adequate and effective use of the prosthesis …

Science fiction has a great influence on how we view and develop technology, including
robots. However, the science fiction we often cite in these discussions are visual: films and …

Residual limbs after amputation present colder temperatures than unaffected contralateral
limbs. This temperature asymmetry has been attributed to autonomic and cognitive factors …
