    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience
    • Rehabilitation Technology

    Background:

    • Myoelectric hands lack effective sensory feedback, limiting user control and utility.
    • Translating sensor data into tactile sensations for functional tasks remains a challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate electrotactile feedback of grip force improves sensorimotor control of myoelectric hands.
    • To enable object stiffness recognition using electrotactile feedback.

    Main Methods:

    • Grip force from a sensorized myoelectric hand was delivered via electrotactile stimulation using four encoding strategies (graded, linear amplitude, linear frequency, biomimetic).
    • Participants performed virtual egg tests (VET) and object stiffness discrimination tests (OSDT).
    • Ten able-bodied subjects and two transradial amputees participated.

    Main Results:

    • Electrotactile feedback improved handling of fragile objects across all strategies.
    • Subjects accurately differentiated four levels of object stiffness (>86% accuracy) with high manual efficiency.
    • Linear amplitude (LA) strategy showed best stiffness discrimination; biomimetic (B) reduced time but not accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • Electrotactile feedback is effective for grip force control and object stiffness recognition in myoelectric prostheses.
    • This technology proves feasible for functional sensory restoration, enhancing prosthesis embodiment and user confidence.
