DOI: 10.1109/tnsre.2016.2554061
Abstract: Myoelectric prostheses have many advantages over body-powered prostheses, yet the absence of sensory feedback in myoelectric devices is one reason body-powered devices are often preferred by amputees. While considerable progress has been made in the… read more here.
