Added control for amputees

摘要

Researchers at Bradford University are working on a two-year project to examine the extent to which sensory feedback affects the performance of artificial limbs.rnThe project, starting in February 2010, is hoped to lead to abet-ter understanding of problems associated with existing prosthetic design and lead to improvements in mechanical function.rnPrinciple researcher, Dr John Buckley, said the improvements could be in the form of audio or vibrational signals integrated into the prosthetic to provide enhancedrnsensory cues to the wearer.
