Abstract
Upper limb amputees have to rely extensively on visual
feedback in order to monitor and manipulate successfully their
prosthetic device. This situation leads to high consciousness
burden, which generates fatigue and frustration. Therefore, in
order to enhance motor-sensory performance and awareness,
sonification of the prosthetic hand's spatio-temporal and force
information was implemented in a real setting. The main
purpose is to explore the difficulties people face when using a
prosthetic hand and how the usage of auditory information
affects their performance. Preliminary results showed that the
temporal performance and the grasping performance was
improved, also that the mental effort was reduced, when using
auditive feedback.
