Using Sensorimotor Reorganization Following Upper Limb Amputation to Improve Prosthetic Control
Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (2) locations...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Amputation of an upper limb results in a disruption of the sensorimotor loop and a reorganization of the nervous system, leading to the emergence of a phantom limb and the adaptation of compensatory motor strategies. This project aims to leverage these phenomena (induced sensations, phantom mobility, and compensations) to improve control, sensory feedback, and the appropriation of prostheses, in order to reduce cognitive load and musculoskeletal disorders.
