U.S., Feb. 19 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07418645) titled 'Evaluation of a Multimodal Tactile Feedback System for Upper Limb-loss Users: Embodiment and Performance' on Jan. 21.
Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of integrating tactile feedback systems into a robotic upper-limb prosthesis. These systems deliver pressure stimuli (through small silicone chambers that inflate), vibration stimuli (through small circular actuators), or a combination of both to the arm, in order to improve the feeling of owning and controlling the artificial hand. In this way, when the robotic hand touches, grasps, and holds an object, the user receives sensory feedback that may make pr...
