Myocontrol is closed-loop control: incidental feedback is sufficient for scaling the prosthesis force in routine grasping

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2018
Sensory feedback is critical for grasping in able-bodied subjects. Consequently, closing the loop in upper-limb prosthetics by providing artificial sensory feedback to the amputee is expected to improve the prosthesis utility.
