Sensory Feedback for Touch and Proprioception With Prosthetic Limbs

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Prosthetic

In brief

Upper limb amputation is a devastating injury that leaves many thousands of typically young and active individuals in the US to rely on artificial arms and hands to help restore their lost function. The investigators research is focused on helping these individuals to feel where their prosthetic limbs are moving without having to look at them by developing devices and approaches to provide sensory feedback of limb movement through the nerves that once served the missing limb.
