- A system for transferring proprioceptive and/or sensory information from a prosthesis (37, 471) or from a sensory system for a body part having poor or no sensation, to the skin of a user wearing such prosthesis or sensory system, characterized in that it comprises: - either a prosthesis (37, 471) configured to be placed on a stump of a body part, or a sensory system configured to be placed at a body extremity with poor or no sensation; - a device (10, 30, 40) for providing electrotactile feedback in the form of a stimulation pattern defined from at least one input signal (14, 141, 341, 441) provided by either said prosthesis (37, 471) or said sensory system, said at least one input signal (14, 141, 341, 441) being a sensory signal from said prosthesis (37, 471) or from said sensory system or a control signal from said prosthesis (37, 471); and - at least one multi-pad electrode (13, 33, 43, 53, 63) configured to be positioned on a part of the body of said user, said multi-pad electrode (13, 33, 43, 53, 63) comprising a plurality of pads configured to be selectively and discretely activated/deactivated according to said stimulation pattern, wherein said stimulation pattern is defined at least by the following stimulation parameters: stimuli location and frequency of stimulation; wherein said device (10, 30, 40) further comprises: - means for processing said at least one input signal (14, 141, 341, 441), thus coding said at least one input signal into one of a plurality of stimulation patterns comprised in a predefined mapping scheme, representing a corresponding plurality of operational parameters of said prosthesis (37, 471) or sensory system; - stimulating means for producing a plurality of electrical pulses based on said selected stimulation pattern; - means for conducting said electrical pulses from said stimulating means to said at least one multi-pad electrode (13, 33, 43, 53, 63), thus selectively activating/deactivating the discrete pads of said multi-pad electrode (13, 33, 43, 53, 63) and changing the configuration parameters of said discrete pads based on said stimulation pattern, thus enabling time and space distributed cutaneous stimulation corresponding to said at least one input signal provided by either said prosthesis (37, 471) or said sensory system. - either a prosthesis (37, 471) configured to be placed on a stump of a body part, or a sensory system configured to be placed at a body extremity with poor or no sensation; - a device (10, 30, 40) for providing electrotactile feedback in the form of a stimulation pattern defined from at least one input signal (14, 141, 341, 441) provided by either said prosthesis (37, 471) or said sensory system, said at least one input signal (14, 141, 341, 441) being a sensory signal from said prosthesis (37, 471) or from said sensory system or a control signal from said prosthesis (37, 471); and - at least one multi-pad electrode (13, 33, 43, 53, 63) configured to be positioned on a part of the body of said user, said multi-pad electrode (13, 33, 43, 53, 63) comprising a plurality of pads configured to be selectively and discretely activated/deactivated according to said stimulation pattern, wherein said stimulation pattern is defined at least by the following stimulation parameters: stimuli location and frequency of stimulation; - means for processing said at least one input signal (14, 141, 341, 441), thus coding said at least one input signal into one of a plurality of stimulation patterns comprised in a predefined mapping scheme, representing a corresponding plurality of operational parameters of said prosthesis (37, 471) or sensory system; - stimulating means for producing a plurality of electrical pulses based on said selected stimulation pattern; - means for conducting said electrical pulses from said stimulating means to said at least one multi-pad electrode (13, 33, 43, 53, 63), thus selectively activating/deactivating the discrete pads of said multi-pad electrode (13, 33, 43, 53, 63) and changing the configuration parameters of said discrete pads based on said stimulation pattern, thus enabling time and space distributed cutaneous stimulation corresponding to said at least one input signal provided by either said prosthesis (37, 471) or said sensory system.
