Proprioception significantly improved prosthetic control in the absence of vision, new research has shown. When patients are fitted with a robotic prosthetic limb, they gain control over their ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Patients with paralysis may be able to improve control of prosthetic arms using proprioception, a new study suggests. In this report, a patient with quadriparesis was able to ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 111, No. 47 (November 25, 2014), pp. 16877-16882 (6 pages) Mammalian locomotor programs are thought to be directed ...

Researchers have created a prosthetic hand that offers its users the ability to feel where it is and how the fingers are positioned — a sense known as proprioception. The headline may be in jest, but ...

Tactile feedback on the skin allowed blindfolded test subjects to more than double their ability to discern the size of objects grasped with a prosthetic hand, report researchers in a new report.

When planning target-directed reaching movements, human subjects combine visual and proprioceptive feedback to form two estimates of the arm's position: one to plan the reach direction, and another to ...

Many modern prosthetic limbs are so intricate that they seem like something from the sci-fi cyborg realm. Unfortunately, to the wearer these marvels still feel like lumps of dead metal and plastic.

from the Developmental Robotics Laboratory at Iowa State has started a projects to explored how proprioceptive sensory feedback, in the form of detected joint motor efforts, can be used by the PR2 ...

Engineers working to add "muscle sense" to prosthetic limbs found that tactile feedback on the skin allowed blindfolded test subjects to more than double their ability to discern the size of objects ...
