This review reveals strategies for prosthetic control and restoring somatosensation in lower-limb amputation, suggesting potential for advanced neuroprosthetics.
People with lower-limb amputation cannot directly control or receive feedback from existing prostheses, but emerging technologies aim to address this gap. Some approaches focus on restoring somatosensation in the missing limb, while others record signals from residual muscles for prosthetic control. This review provides an overview of the current state of neuroprosthetics for somatosensory restoration and prosthetic control in lower-limb amputation, offering perspectives on integrating these technologies for bidirectional neuroprostheses.
