system for transferring proprioceptive information from a prosthesis and method for transferring proprioceptive information from a prosthesis or sensory system

摘要

a system and method for transferring proprioceptive and / or sensory information from a prosthesis (37, 471) or a detection system (472) disposed on a body part with little or no sensitivity to the skin of a wearer of such a prosthesis. or detection system. the system comprises: a device (10, 30, 40) for providing electrotactile feedback in the form of a coding scheme electrical stimulation pattern for at least one input signal (14, 141, 142, 341, 441); and at least one multi-pad electrode (13, 33, 43, 53, 63) configured to be positioned over a body part of said user, said multi-pad electrode (13, 33, 43, 53, 63). ) comprising a plurality of pads configured to be selectively and discretely activated / deactivated according to said predefined pacing pattern.
