TLDR
This paper presents an overview of the principal works and devices employed to provide upper limb amputees with sensory feedback and the principal features, advantages and disadvantages of the different methods are presented.Abstract:
One of the challenges facing prosthetic designers and engineers is to restore the missing sensory function inherit to hand amputation. Several different techniques can be employed to provide amputees with sensory feedback: sensory substitution methods where the recorded stimulus is not only transferred to the amputee, but also translated to a different modality (modality-matched feedback), which transfers the stimulus without translation and direct neural stimulation, which interacts directly with peripheral afferent nerves. This paper presents an overview of the principal works and devices employed to provide upper limb amputees with sensory feedback. The focus is on sensory substitution and modality matched feedback; the principal features, advantages and disadvantages of the different methods are presented.read more

An osseointegrated human-machine gateway for long-term sensory feedback and motor control of artificial limbs
TL;DR: A percutaneous osseointegrated (bone-anchored) interface that allows for permanent and unlimited bidirectional communication with the human body and demonstrates in one subject that implanted electrodes provide a more precise and reliable control than surface electrodes, regardless of limb position and environmental conditions, and with less effort.
