Commercial prosthetic devices currently do not provide natural sensory information on the
interaction with objects or movements. The subsequent disadvantages include …

Several efforts have been carried out to enhance dexterous hand prosthesis control by
impaired individuals. Choosing which voluntary signal to use for control purposes is a critical …

Hand loss is a highly disabling event that markedly affects the quality of life. To achieve a
close to natural replacement for the lost hand, the user should be provided with the rich …

Conventional leg prostheses do not convey sensory information about motion or interaction
with the ground to above-knee amputees, thereby reducing confidence and walking speed …

Neuromodulation of spinal sensorimotor circuits improves motor control in animal models
and humans with spinal cord injury. With common neuromodulation devices, electrical …

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 …

Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of lumbosacral segments can restore a range of movements
after spinal cord injury. However, the mechanisms and neural structures through which …

10.7554/eLife.09148.001 Restoration of touch after hand amputation is a desirable feature
of ideal prostheses. Here, we show that texture discrimination can be artificially provided in …

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

Amputations have a devastating impact on patients’ health with consequent psychological
distress, economic loss, difficult reintegration into society, and often low embodiment of …
