Perceptions of heaviness when using an upper limb prosthesis

Sarah Day, Gavin Buckingham

Biomedical Engineering

Research output: Contribution to conference › Poster › peer-review

Abstract

The size weight illusion occurs when a person underestimates the weight of a larger object in relation to a smaller object of the same mass. This study investigated whether the size weight illusion exists in amputees, and whether it is of the same magnitude as in the normal population.
