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 …

Hands are vital in a wide range of fundamental daily activities, and neurological diseases
that impede hand function can significantly affect quality of life. Wearable hand gesture …

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 …

Objective. Tactile feedback is critical to grip and object manipulation. Its absence results in
reliance on visual and auditory cues. Our objective was to assess the effect of sensory …

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 …

Advances in our understanding of brain function, along with the development of neural
interfaces that allow for the monitoring and activation of neurons, have paved the way for …

Objective. Computer vision-based assistive technology solutions can revolutionise the
quality of care for people with sensorimotor disorders. The goal of this work was to enable …

Three recent articles in Science Translational Medicine (Tan et al. and Ortiz-Catalan et al.,
this issue; Raspopovic et al., 5 Feb 2014 issue, 222ra19) present neuroprosthetic systems in …

Providing somatosensory feedback to the user of a myoelectric prosthesis is an important
goal since it can improve the utility as well as facilitate the embodiment of the assistive …

Loss of tactile sensations is a major roadblock preventing upper limb-absent people from
multitasking or using the full dexterity of their prosthetic hands. With current myoelectric …
