“…A feedback system with a provision to easily 'switch on and off' as per requirement is desirable. Haptics can be used to reduce trunk compensation during upper-limb rehabilitation instead of giving feedback in the form of explicit information through visual cues, verbal instruction, or physical constraints [23], [24]. This study examined if providing augmented haptic feedback about trunk orientation while performing a unimanual reaching task can lead to postural adaptation in neurologically intact participants.…”

Poor trunk posture, especially during long periods of sitting, could lead to many issues such as Low Back Pain (LBP) and Forward Head Posture (FHP). Typical solutions are based on visual or vibration-based feedback. However, these feedback systems could lead to feedback being ignored by user and phantom vibration syndrome, respectively. Moreover, trunk posture needs to be corrected during rehabilitation of stroke patients to reduce trunk compensation. Proposed solutions in the literature to reduce trunk compensation primarily include strapping patients to the chair, which has several disadvantages. In this study, we propose using augmented haptic feedback for postural adaptation. In this two-part study, twenty-four healthy participants (age 25.87 ± 2.17 years) adapted to three different postural targets in the anterior direction while performing a unimanual reaching task using a robotic device. Results suggest a strong adaptation to the desired postural targets. Mean anterior trunk bending after intervention is significantly different as compared to baseline measurements for all postural targets. Additional analysis of movement straightness and smoothness indicates an absence of any negative interference of posture-based feedback on the performance of reaching movement. Taken together, these results suggest that augmented haptic feedback-based system could be used for postural adaptation applications.

“…The study needs to (1) be peer-reviewed, (2) report quantitative data, (3) feature a direct comparison of subjects' performance with and without haptic feedback, (4) use a master-slave robot system with direct control, (5) be applicable in surgical contexts, (6) make use of direct haptic feedback, (7) be written in English or German. Notably, this excluded papers investigating sensory substitution 27 , haptic feedback in non-surgical contexts 28 , or the benefits of haptic feedback for training 29 . Filtering by these criteria eliminated most search results, leaving N = 115 papers, all of which could be retrieved in full and were consequently subjected to further scrutiny.…”

Robot assisted surgery (RAS) provides medical practitioners with valuable tools, decreasing strain during surgery and leading to better patient outcomes. While the loss of haptic sensation is a commonly cited disadvantage of RAS, new systems aim to address this problem by providing artificial haptic feedback. N = 56 papers that compared robotic surgery systems with and without haptic feedback were analyzed to quantify the performance benefits of restoring the haptic modality. Additionally, this study identifies factors moderating the effect of restoring haptic sensation. Overall results showed haptic feedback was effective in reducing average forces (Hedges’ g = 0.83) and peak forces (Hedges’ g = 0.69) applied during surgery, as well as reducing the completion time (Hedges’ g = 0.83). Haptic feedback has also been found to lead to higher accuracy (Hedges’ g = 1.50) and success rates (Hedges’ g = 0.80) during surgical tasks. Effect sizes on several measures varied between tasks, the type of provided feedback, and the subjects’ levels of surgical expertise, with higher levels of expertise generally associated with smaller effect sizes. No significant differences were found between virtual fixtures and rendering contact forces. Implications for future research are discussed.
