System and method for electroactile feedback

A system and method for transferring proprioceptive and/or sensory information from a prosthesis (37, 471) or from a sensing system (472) disposed at a body part having poor or no sensation, to the skin of a user wearing such prosthesis or sensing system. The system comprises: a device (10, 30, 40) for providing electrotactile feedback in the form of an electrical stimulation pattern with coding scheme for at least one input signal (14, 141, 142, 341, 441); 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 predefined stimulation pattern.
