    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience
    • Rehabilitation Technology

    Background:

    • Upper limb prosthesis users lack haptic feedback, increasing reliance on visual input.
    • Current myoelectric controls offer velocity but not position control.
    • Force feedback can improve performance in virtual environments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate if proprioceptive and vibrotactile haptic feedback can reduce the need for visual feedback.
    • To assess the efficacy of sonomyography for position control in prosthetic limbs.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a novel sonomyography (ultrasound sensing) control method for position control.
    • Able-bodied subjects used sonomyography to control a virtual cursor in a target acquisition task.
    • Systematically tested the impact of visual and haptic feedback on task performance.

    Main Results:

    • Without visual feedback, subjects made significant errors in target reacquisition.
    • Real-time haptic feedback improved target position precision to levels comparable to visual feedback.
    • Sonomyography enabled position control based on muscle deformation.

    Conclusions:

    • Proprioceptive and vibrotactile haptic feedback can effectively substitute for visual feedback in target acquisition.
    • This approach has significant implications for enhancing prosthetic control system performance.
    • Sonomyography offers a promising avenue for advanced prosthetic limb control.
