Take home sensory restoration system and study design.. A) Schematic diagram of the take home system demonstrating system components and connections. B) A participant uses the sensory restoration system to embrace a child. C) Timeline of the study. Participants used the prosthesis system without sensory feedback in stages 1 and 3 and with sensory feedback enabled in stage 2. The participants came to the lab for testing sessions before the start of the study and after each stage. D) System wear-time per stage for participants 1 and 2.

The individual in this manuscript has given written informed consent (as outlined in the PLOS consent form) to publish the photograph and case details presented in Fig 1. Participants wore a sensory restoration system in their homes and communities (Fig 1A and 1B). The overall home study was a quasi-experimental study that utilized a cross-over design with three stages (Fig 1C). Participant 1 wore the system in each Stage for a total of 7 days (Fig 1D). Stage 2 was extended to accommodate the participant's travel schedule. Stage 3 was also extended for Participant 2 due to an illness that prevented the participant from travelling to the laboratory (Fig 1D).
