Based on these findings, the high-density cuff technology is suitable for restoring natural sensation to lower-limb amputees and could be utilized in developing a neuroprosthesis with natural sensory feedback. The overlap in reported locations between proximal and distal cuffs indicates that our approach might be applicable to transfemoral amputees where distal muscles and branches of sciatic nerve are not available.
