Obtaining and maintaining cortical hand representation as evidenced from acquired and congenital handlessness

eLife, 2019
A key question in neuroscience is how cortical organisation relates to experience. Previously we showed that amputees experiencing highly vivid phantom sensations maintain cortical representation of their missing hand (Kikkert et al., 2016).

Amputee stump radiology [PDF]

Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 1980
In patients with stump problems, radiological examination of the stump is desirable. To get a maximum of information, the X-ray technique has to be adapted to the qualities of the stump which are different from the corresponding part of a normal limb. Special techniques permit further diagnosis.

Chronotropic index mediates the relationship between lower-limb loss level and 6-minute walk test performance

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living
IntroductionLower-limb loss (LLL) significantly impacts exercise capacity. Low heart rate, i.e., chronotropic, response to exercise is known to contribute to reduced exercise capacity in other clinical populations; associations between population ...

An Innervated Human Skin Equivalent that Electrically Encodes Mechanical and Thermal Stimuli

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An innervated human skin equivalent is integrated with high‐density microelectrode arrays to reveal how engineered free nerve ending–like structures translate touch and temperature into electrical codes. Mechanical indentation and thermal stimulation engage the engineered somatosensory circuitry and evoke distinct firing and waveform signatures ...

Osseoperceptive EMG Feedback Improves Grasp Force Control in Myoelectric Prosthetic Hands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Osseoperception is explored as a non‐invasive pathway for delivering sensory feedback in myoelectric prosthetic control. By encoding the user's electromyographic (EMG) signal through bone‐conducted stimulation, this approach enables predictive grasp force regulation.
