Excerpt

The contribution of somatosensation to locomotor deficits in below-knee amputees (BKAs) has not been fully explored. Unilateral disruption of plantar sensation causes able-bodied individuals to adopt locomotor characteristics that resemble those of unilateral BKAs, suggesting that restoring somatosensation may improve locomotion for amputees. In prior studies, we demonstrated that electrically stimulating the residual nerves of amputees elicited somatosensory percepts that were felt as occurring in the missing foot …
