Background:

Shoulder-controlled hand neuroprostheses offer functional restoration for individuals with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI).
These devices provide multimodal feedback (proprioceptive and visual), potentially altering users' somatosensory representations.
Understanding these alterations is crucial for optimizing neuroprosthetic design and user integration.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the impact of shoulder-controlled hand neuroprostheses on body somatosensory representation.
To introduce and validate a novel experimental paradigm using immersive virtual reality (VR) and a visual-tactile integration task.

Main Methods:

Developed an immersive VR environment to simulate shoulder-controlled neuroprosthesis use.
Adapted the Crossmodal Congruency Task to assess visual-tactile integration.
Collected data from seven non-disabled participants to validate the experimental setup.

Main Results:

Preliminary statistical analysis indicated no significant differences in task performance between VR and non-VR conditions.
The experimental setup was validated as a proof-of-concept.
The study provides a foundation for future research with refined designs and larger cohorts.

Conclusions:

The proposed VR-based experimental paradigm is a viable tool for studying somatosensory changes associated with neuroprosthetic use.
Further research is warranted to explore these effects in SCI populations with optimized experimental parameters.
