If a prosthetic hand lacks the neural signal processing to distinguish between textures and grip force, which consequence follows during object manipulation?

💡 Explanation

Lack of texture and grip force discrimination in a prosthetic hand disrupts the sensorimotor loop because accurate force modulation relies on mechanoreceptor feedback to maintain grip. Therefore, unstable grasp and slippage are likely, rather than improved sensory discrimination in other modalities.
