Muscle Vibrations Improve Control Over Prosthetic Hands (1 of 4)

image: Schematic representation of the movement feedback paired to a real-time, functional prosthetic hand clinically fitted to the participant. Feedback pathways are represented in blue (VCLM, voice coil linear motor). Prosthesis control pathways are represented in red (participant control). This material relates to a paper that appeared in the March 14, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by P.D. Marasco at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH, and colleagues was titled, "Illusory movement perception improves motor control for prosthetic hands." view more
