Brain reactions to the use of sensorized hand prosthesis in amputees

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Fabrizio Vecchio, Francesco Iberite

Objective We investigated for the first time the presence of chronic changes in the functional organization of sensorimotor brain areas induced by prolonged training with a bidirectional hand prosthesis. Methods A multimodal neurophysiological and neuroima ...

Cortical plasticity after hand prostheses use: Is the hypothesis of deafferented cortex "invasion" always true?

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna, Ivo Strauss, Pablo Garcia del Valle, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Iberite

Objective: To study motor cortex plasticity after a period of training with a new prototype of bidirectional hand prosthesis in three left trans-radial amputees, correlating these changes with the modification of Phantom Limb Pain (PLP) in the same period. ...

Cortical connectivity and spectral perturbations underlying TENS stimulation of hand nerves: a case study

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni, Edoardo D'Anna

The major challenge in upper limbs neuroprosthetic improvement is the implementation of effective sensory feedback. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) of the median and ulnar nerves confirmed, with electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings, ...

A biomimetic electrical stimulation strategy to induce asynchronous stochastic neural activity

Silvestro Micera, Stéphanie Lacour, Edoardo D'Anna, Emanuele Formento, Sandra Gribi

Objective.Electrical stimulation is an effective method for artificially modulating the activity of the nervous system. However, current stimulation paradigms fail to reproduce the stochastic and asynchronous properties of natural neural activity. Here, we ...

Sensitivity to temporal parameters of intraneural tactile sensory feedback

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle

Background Recent studies have shown that neural stimulation can be used to provide artificial sensory feedback to amputees eliciting sensations referred on the amputated hand. The temporal properties of the neural stimulation modulate aspects of evoked se ...

Hand Control With Invasive Feedback Is Not Impaired by Increased Cognitive Load

Silvestro Micera, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle

Recent experiments have shown that neural stimulation can successfully restore sensory feedback in upper-limb amputees improving their ability to control the prosthesis. However, the potential advantages of invasive sensory feedback with respect to non-inv ...

Six-Month Assessment of a Hand Prosthesis with Intraneural Tactile Feedback

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle

Objective Hand amputation is a highly disabling event, which significantly affects quality of life. An effective hand replacement can be achieved if the user, in addition to motor functions, is provided with the sensations that are naturally perceived whil ...

Characterization of multi-channel intraneural stimulation in transradial amputees

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Fiorenzo Artoni, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna, Pablo Garcia del Valle, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle

Although peripheral nerve stimulation using intraneural electrodes has been shown to be an effective and reliable solution to restore sensory feedback after hand loss, there have been no reports on the characterization of multi-channel stimulation. A deepe ...
