Towards Artificial Proprioception in Prosthetic Devices

The human proprioception is one of the mechanisms utilized to recognize location different segments or body parts, also identify them in space; problem comes when loss a nervous pathway (e.g., due amputation limb). Given background literature and technological development, this work's purpose establish definition demarcate methodology for Artificial Proprioception persons who have lost their natural proprioception. Although work can be applied wide variety disorders, aimed implemented Prosthetic Devices assist people with amputation, major example lower limb at transfemoral level. We see as integral incorporation mechatronic system person, not only prosthesis but neurological rehabilitation purposes regain abilities that help patient achieve activities avoid accidents fall during gait).
