Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Aim – Investigate hand-opening feedback during performance of virtual grasping tasks and distractive tasks. Relevance – Sensory feedback and the required attentional demands are important aspects in prosthesis acceptance.

Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Method 10 nondisabled subjects performed virtual grasping tasks: – With and without feedback about hand opening (8 vibrotactile stimulators on forearm). – During 3 levels of distraction: none, counting task, count and subtract task. Experimental setup. Eight coin motors placed in array on forearm.

Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Results Addition of vibrotactile feedback: – Increased performance. – But also increased duration of tasks. Only highest level of distraction (count and subtract task) influenced grasping task performance.
