  • Abstract
    This research describes the implementation of a system for the signal processing of gripping force in a myoelectrically controlled forearm prosthesis using electrical stimulation. Experiments show that this device is easy to use, the sensory feedback signal is distinct, and the users can correctly differentiate the appropriate gripping force for a wide class of activities. The proposed method for sensory feedback can be used in other types of prostheses
