Aadeel Akhtar, Mary Nguyen, and Patrick Slade have won this month's Video of the Month competition in the Coordinated Science Laboratory! "Their innovative research on hand prosthesis could make a huge impact in areas where prostheses are expensive and difficult to acquire."

In this project, we present a passive linear skin stretch device that can provide proprioceptive feedback for multiple degrees of freedom (DOF) in a prosthetic hand. In a 1-DOF virtual targeting task, subjects performed as well with our device as with a vibrotactile array, and statistically significantly better than having no feedback at all.
