Most prosthetic limbs can autonomously move with dexterity, yet they are not perceived by
the user as belonging to their own body. Robotic limbs can convey information about 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 …

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 …

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 …

Methods: This review aims to provide an interdisciplinary overview of recent evidence-based
and clinical knowledge. Results: The scientific evidence for best practice is weak and …

Introduction: The constant challenge to restore sensory feedback in prosthetic hands has
provided several research solutions, but virtually none has reached clinical fruition. A …

Touch is one most of the important aspects of human life. Nearly all interactions, when
broken down, involve touch in one form or another. Recent advances in technology …

Somatosensory feedback of the hand is essential for object identification. Without
somatosensory feedback, individuals cannot reliably determine the size or compliance of an …

Swallowing is an ensemble of voluntary and autonomic processes key to maintaining our
body's homeostatic balance. Abnormal swallowing (dysphagia) can cause dehydration …

We present a novel design for an e-textile based surface electromyography (sEMG) suit that
incorporates stretchable conductive textiles as electrodes and interconnects within an …
