Preliminary Study on Pneumatic Haptic Feedback Integration in Prosthetics with WISH

Abstract

There are many well explored non-invasive methods of sensory feedback for prosthetic users. The purpose of this study was to explore pneumatic soft haptic feedback as a potential method of feedback for upper limb prosthetic users. A pneumatic bladder was integrated with the Softhand Pro, a system called wearable integrated soft haptics (WISH), to provide feedback based on the state of the electric motor of the electronic prosthetic device.
