Muscle Vibrations Improve Control Over Prosthetic Hands (2 of 4) (VIDEO)
Caption
Video showing a study participant triggering the worn robotic hand to close. The study participant demonstrates the perceived movement illusion with her intact hand (Red Light). The illusionary perception of her hand movement is matched to the grip conformation and movement of the robotic hand. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the March 14, 2018, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by P.D. Marasco at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH, and colleagues was titled, "Illusory movement perception improves motor control for prosthetic hands."
