A newly developed bionic arm combines motor control with touch and hand movement sensations, allowing those with upper-arm amputations to behave and react as though they haven't lost their limb.
After a year of using a bionic arm, patients report subjective sensations did not shift to match the location of the touch sensor on their prosthetic device.
Researchers publish guidelines to help determine whether a patient is psychologically suitable for bionic hand reconstruction following amputation.
