Electrodes are surgically implanted on one to four nerves of the residual limb. An external stimulation device will send pulses to the electrodes. The participant will be asked what they feel, and to draw the location of any perceived sensation on schematic maps. A sensorized prosthesis will be worn and stimulation will be administered while the participant is engaging in various functional tasks, such as standing, walking or climbing stairs or with visual or mental distractions.
