Providing proprioceptive feedback by means of vibrotactile stimuli: A way to improve body integration of a prosthetic arm
Résumé
The aim of the study reported here was to ease the learning of prostheses involving myoelectric control in upper limb amputees. To do so, the proprioceptive cue of wrist rotation was coded into vibro-tactile feedback. Training with this sensory feedback improved performance in terms of movement preparation time. Thus, vibro-tactile feedback as a cue for wrist rotation ease learning of prosthetic devices and thereby might favor their body integration.
