A sco** review on examination approaches for identifying tactile deficits at the upper extremity in individuals with stroke
PurposeAccurate perception of tactile stimuli is essential for performing and learning activities of daily living. Through this sco** review, we...

Augmenting locomotor perception by remap** tactile foot sensation to the back
BackgroundSensory reafferents are crucial to correct our posture and movements, both reflexively and in a cognitively driven manner. They are also...

Atypical Development of Tactile Processing
Tactile processing is of tremendous importance during development. Touch is one of the first senses to develop, and is even active prenatally. Touch...

Hand posture, but not vision of the hand, affects tactile spatial resolution in the grating orientation discrimination task
The grating orientation discrimination task (GOT) is a sensitive and reliable measure of tactile spatial resolution, or acuity. We used the GOT in...

A soft neuroprosthetic hand providing simultaneous myoelectric control and tactile feedback
Neuroprosthetic hands are typically heavy (over 400 g) and expensive (more than US$10,000), and lack the compliance and tactile feedback of human...

Improving postural stability among people with lower-limb amputations by tactile sensory substitution
BackgroundFor people with lower-limb amputations, wearing a prosthetic limb helps restore their motor abilities for daily activities. However, the...

Electrophysiological Techniques for Studying Tactile Perception in Rats
Neurons communicate by electrical and chemical signals. Neurophysiological studies measuring and manipulating these signals are therefore of utmost...

More Than the Sum of Its Parts: Visual–Tactile Integration in the Behaving Rat
We experience the world by constantly integrating cues from multiple modalities to form unified sensory percepts. Once familiar with multimodal...

Behavioural and neural markers of tactile sensory processing in infants at elevated likelihood of autism spectrum disorder and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
BackgroundsAtypicalities in tactile processing are reported in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) but...

Evaluation of Artificial Tactile Sense in Mass Detection in Silicone Phantom for the Diagnosis of Prostate Tumor
We analyzed the kinetic and kinematic variables of artificial tactile and artificial vibrotactile sensing test for mass detection in silicon phantom...

A Reliable and Sensitive Framework for Simultaneous Type and Stage Detection of Colorectal Cancer Polyps
With the goal of enhancing the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) polyps and reducing the risk of mortality in cancer patients, in this...

Emergence of sense of body ownership but not agency during virtual tool-use training is associated with an altered body schema
In this study we examined if training with a virtual tool in augmented reality (AR) affects the emergence of ownership and agency over the tool and...

Tool-use training in augmented reality: plasticity of forearm body schema does not predict sense of ownership or agency in older adults
In young adults (YA) who practised controlling a virtual tool in augmented reality (AR), the emergence of a sense of body ownership over the tool was...

Sensing form - finger gaiting as key to tactile object exploration - a data glove analysis of a prototypical daily task
BackgroundMotor hand skill and associated dexterity is important for meeting the challenges of daily activity and an important resource post-stroke....

Simulation of a control method for active kinesiotherapy with an upper extremity rehabilitation exoskeleton without force sensor
Exoskeleton-aided active rehabilitation is a process that requires sensing and acting upon the motion intentions of the user. Typically, force...

Three Sliding Probes Placed on Forelimb Skin for Proprioceptive Feedback Differentially yet Complementarily Contribute to Hand Gesture Detection and Object-Size Discrimination
The purpose was to assess the effectiveness of three sliding tactile probes placed on the forelimb skin to provide proprioceptive feedback for the...

Pattern Reorganization of Corticomuscular Connection with the Tactile Stimulation
Sensitivity to tactile stimuli is an indispensable feedback in human motion control. However, previous studies on tactile stimulation mainly focused...
