Recent years have seen considerable improvements in state-of-the-art prosthetic devices. Research has recently shifted towards providing sensory information feedback to users of such prostheses. Sensory information is necessary for the seamless integration of these devices with the human body. In this study we look at the possibility to use the “apparent moving sensation” effect as a means of transmitting proprioceptive information, using trans cutaneous electrical stimulation. We applied 5 incremental steps (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%) on both sides of the spine, in two directions (up, down). An average of 74.56% recognition rate was observed, with only two patterns under the 75% recognition threshold
