A closed-loop hand prosthesis with simultaneous intraneural tactile and position feedback

Silvestro Micera, Ivo Strauss, Stanisa Raspopovic, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna

Current myoelectric prostheses allow transradial amputees to regain voluntary motor control of their artificial limb by exploiting residual muscle function in the forearm. However, the overreliance on visual cues resulting from a lack of sensory feedback i ...

Cortical plasticity after hand prostheses use: Is the hypothesis of deafferented cortex "invasion" always true?

Silvestro Micera, Ivo Strauss, Stanisa Raspopovic, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Maria Petrini, Pablo Garcia del Valle, Edoardo D'Anna

Objective: To study motor cortex plasticity after a period of training with a new prototype of bidirectional hand prosthesis in three left trans-radial amputees, correlating these changes with the modification of Phantom Limb Pain (PLP) in the same period. ...

A somatotopic bidirectional hand prosthesis with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation based sensory feedback

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Fiorenzo Artoni, Francesco Maria Petrini

According to amputees, sensory feedback is amongst the most important features lacking from commercial prostheses. Although restoration of touch by means of implantable neural interfaces has been achieved, these approaches require surgical interventions, a ...

On the Use of Intraneural Transversal Electrodes to Develop Bidirectional Bionic Limbs

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini

The development of more effective approaches for controlling dexterous hand prostheses is an important area of research currently addressed by several groups with the aim of improving the quality of life of amputees. It is particularly important to establi ...

Restoring Natural Sensory Feedback in Real-Time Bidirectional Hand Prostheses

Silvestro Micera, Marco Capogrosso, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Marco Bonizzato, Jacopo Rigosa

Hand loss is a highly disabling event that markedly affects the quality of life. To achieve a close to natural replacement for the lost hand, the user should be provided with the rich sensations that we naturally perceive when grasping or manipulating an o ...

Brain reactions to the use of sensorized hand prosthesis in amputees

Silvestro Micera, Ivo Strauss, Stanisa Raspopovic, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Maria Petrini, Fabrizio Vecchio, Edoardo D'Anna

Objective We investigated for the first time the presence of chronic changes in the functional organization of sensorimotor brain areas induced by prolonged training with a bidirectional hand prosthesis. Methods A multimodal neurophysiological and neuroima ...

Bidirectional Limb Neuro-Prosthesis

Silvestro Micera, Marco Capogrosso, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Marco Bonizzato

Integrated closed-loop real-time limb neuro-prosthetic system comprising an artificial limb, a microprocessor, sensors, a signal conditioner, a stimulator, at least one EMG electrode and at least one sensory feedback electrode, characterized by the fact th ...

Morphological Neural Computation Restores Discrimination of Naturalistic Textures in Trans-radial Amputees

Silvestro Micera, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Maria Petrini, Fabrizio Vecchio, Simone Romeni

Humans rely on their sense of touch to interact with the environment. Thus, restoring lost tactile sensory capabilities in amputees would advance their quality of life. In particular, texture discrimination is an important component for the interaction wit ...
