متن کاملUpper limb amputees can be induced to experience a rubber hand as their own

This was accomplished by applying synchronous touches to the stump, which was out of view, and to the index finger of a rubber hand, placed in full view (26 cm medial to the stump). This elicited an illusion of sensing touch on the artificial hand, rather than on the stump and a feeling of own...
متن کاملA simple and versatile driving appliance for upper-limb amputees.
A simple fixed-hook driving appliance is described, suitable for upper-limb amputees, and its function compared with that of the commonly available ball-and-cup device. The hook is reliable, safe and inexpensive. An attachment is also described which fits on to gear levers, allowing the use of the driving appliance to change gears manually.
