Bionic hand prosthesis with sensory feedback completes clinical trials
Patients told hard from soft with their eyes closed. We look at how the pressure sensors work and what stands between a trial and a production prosthesis.
A research group has reported the end of clinical trials of a hand prosthesis with tactile feedback. Pressure sensors in the fingers send a signal to the skin of the forearm, and the patient feels the force of the grip.
In the trial, participants with their eyes closed told hard objects from soft ones and adjusted the force so as not to crush fragile things.
What comes next
The stage is part of the fact: the trials are over, but a production prosthesis still needs registration, manufacturing and training for doctors. The authors talk about several years.
