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 …

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 …

Current myoelectric prostheses allow transradial amputees to regain voluntary motor control
of their artificial limb by exploiting residual muscle function in the forearm. However, the …

According to amputees, sensory feedback is amongst the most important features lacking
from commercial prostheses. Although restoration of touch by means of implantable neural …

The desire for functional replacement of a missing hand is an ancient one. Historically,
humans have replaced a missing limb with a prosthesis for cosmetic, vocational, or personal …

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 …

Development and implementation of neuroprosthetic hands is a multidisciplinary field at the
interface between humans and artificial robotic systems, which aims at replacing the …

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 …

Background To effectively replace the human hand, a prosthesis should seamlessly respond
to user intentions but also convey sensory information back to the user. Restoration of …

Conventional prosthetic arms suffer from poor controllability and lack of sensory feedback.
Owing to the absence of tactile sensory information, prosthetic users must rely on incidental …
