Upper limb amputation still causes severe disability today; prostheses currently on the market are able to restore partially to the amputee the lost functionality. In addition to the motor capacity of the limb, prosthetic systems should also aim to restore to the sensory information from the surrounding environment during contact with objects. Therefore, it is important to develop bidirectional prostheses. It is thus apparent that the development of new techniques for decoding the efferent channel, such as high-density surface electromyography, and for encoding of the afferent channel afferent, to return multimodal somatosensory sensations of mechanoception, nociception, and thermoception using TENS, isimportant to improve the patient's use of the prosthesis.
