TL;DR: The KineAssist provides partial body weight support and postural torques on the torso; allows many axes of motion of the trunk as well as of the pelvis; leaves the patient's legs accessible to a physical therapist during walking; servo- follows a patient's walking motions overground in forward, rotation, and sidestepping directions.

TL;DR: It is shown that the performance of animals (Rhesus macaques) on a tactile task is equivalent whether stimuli are delivered to the native finger or to the prosthetic finger, and the implementation of a somatosensory prosthesis with which percepts whose magnitude is graded according to the force exerted on the prosthesis is described.

TL;DR: In this article, three different versions of a multifunction haptic device that can display touch, pressure, vibration, shear force, and temperature to the skin of an upper extremity amputee, especially the one who has undergone targeted nerve reinnervation (TR) surgery was developed.

TL;DR: The Modular Prosthetic Limb’s evolution over the past 13 years is described and the system in entirety is described, focusing on the fundamental characteristics of the system from hardware to software and controls.

TL;DR: The mechanical design of the tactor, a tactor that can display pressure, vibration, shear force, and temperature to the skin of upper extremity amputees, especially those who have undergone targeted nerve rein-nervation surgery, is presented.
