Abstract
Described is a system for automatically tuning the sensor feedback of a prosthetic device. The system comprises an electrode or plurality of electrodes in contact with a peripheral nerve of a user wearing a prosthetic device for administering the sensory feedback and an additional stimulus that evokes a muscle response in the user. A sensor is used to measure the muscle response. One or more processors generate a current stimulation pattern that encodes a posture of the prosthetic device. The current stimulation pattern is used in a spinal cord simulation to produce predicted muscle activations. Using the muscle response and the predicted muscle activations, an adjusted stimulation pattern is determined.
