First seen Feb 24, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study tests a robotic hand that can send touch sensations back to the user's arm, such as pressure or vibration, when it grabs objects. Nine people with a single arm amputation will try the device and perform everyday tasks to see if the feedback makes the hand feel more like their own and easier to control. The goal is to improve how naturally the prosthesis can be used in daily life.
