  3. 2. Validation of the Effectiveness of a Sensory Discrimination Training Device

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Malin Lehander; [2022]
    Keywords : Sensory training; Phantom limb pain; Mindful sensory motor training; Amputation; Pain treatment;

    Abstract : Successful treatment alternatives for chronic pain conditions are limited. One type of chronic pain that can occur is the condition of phantom limb pain, which can occur after the loss of a limb. Many studies have researched the correlation between chronic pain, tactile acuity, and cortical reorganization. READ MORE

  4. 3. Enhancing Sensory Discrimination Training using Brain Modulation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Agnes Westerlund; [2022]
    Keywords : Transcranial direct current stimulation; sensory discrimination training; tactile acuity; phantom limb pain; two-point discrimination test; Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test;

    Abstract : Damage to the nervous system may cause sensorimotor impairment, often resulting in chronic neuropathic pain. Phantom limb pain affects multiple amputees and the treatment options are limited. A promising treatment option to reduce chronic pain is by training sensory discrimination. READ MORE

  5. 4. Hundens anpassing till tre ben : ett värdigt liv?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Elin Ljunger; [2018]
    Keywords : amputation; anpassning; livskvalitet; protes; hund; trebent;

    Abstract : En vanlig orsak till amputation hos våra hundar idag är neoplasier och olika typer av sarkom. Behandlingen sker genom att amputera det drabbade benet i kombination med cytostatikabehandling. READ MORE

  6. 5. An investigation of the relationships between electrotactile stimulus parameters, primary afferent response, and perceived sensation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Jessica Sofie Louise Vidmark; [2018]
    Keywords : electrotactile stimulation; psychophysical sensation; primary afferent response; sensory feedback; prosthetics; elektrisk hudstimulering; psykofysisk respons; primärafferent respons; sensorisk återkoppling; proteser;

    Abstract : Sensory feedback possesses the possibility of adding a new dimension to many applications, including, but not limited to, prosthetics and surgical robots for improved control, virtual reality for incorporation of another sense, and phantom limb pain reduction for amputees. Electrotactile stimulation provides a compact, light-weight, energy efficient, highly responsive, and non-invasive option for sensory feedback; however, it has been found to commonly elicit unnatural or uncomfortable sensations for the user.
