Abstract:

An apparatus and method for conveying sensory information from a distal location on a prosthetic limb, to a proximal location on the body of the wearer. The apparatus comprises a detector for mounting in a prosthesis and a stimulator for engaging the skin of the prosthesis wearer. Tactile, haptic and other information including surface-normal force, shear force, vibration, and/or temperature are sensed, conveyed, processed, and displayed, such that the wearer of the prosthetic has improved sensation and awareness from distal parts of a prosthetic, such as a fingertip.
