Why brain-controlled neuroprosthetics matter: mechanisms underlying electrical stimulation of muscles and nerves in rehabilitation

open access: yesBioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2020
Delivering short trains of electric pulses to the muscles and nerves can elicit action potentials resulting in muscle contractions. When the stimulations are sequenced to generate functional movements, such as grasping or walking, the application is ...

Computationally efficient modeling of proprioceptive signals in the upper limb for prostheses: a simulation study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Accurate models of proprioceptive neural patterns could one day play an important role in the creation of an intuitive proprioceptive neural prosthesis for amputees.

A Review and Perspective for the Development of Triboelectric Nanogenerator (TENG)-Based Self-Powered Neuroprosthetics

open access: yesMicromachines, 2020
Neuroprosthetics have become a powerful toolkit for clinical interventions of various diseases that affect the central nervous or peripheral nervous systems, such as deep brain stimulation (DBS), functional electrical stimulation (FES), and vagus nerve ...

Brain-controlled modulation of spinal circuits improves recovery from spinal cord injury

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Brain–spine interfaces have been used to enable leg movement following spinal cord injury, but movement is either involuntary or not adjustable. Here, the authors show in rats that a proportional stimulation interface permits voluntary movement and ...

Towards User-Centred Prosthetics Research Beyond the Laboratory

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
The purpose of this study was to explore a range of perspectives on how academic research and clinical assessment of upper-limb prosthetics could happen in environments outside of laboratories and clinics, such as within peoples’ homes.

Neuroprosthetic-enabled control of graded arm muscle contraction in a paralyzed human

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Neuroprosthetics that combine a brain computer interface (BCI) with functional electrical stimulation (FES) can restore voluntary control of a patients’ own paralyzed limbs.

A Review of Control Strategies in Closed-Loop Neuroprosthetic Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
It has been widely recognized that closed-loop neuroprosthetic systems achieve more favourable outcomes for users then equivalent open-loop devices. Improved performance of tasks, better usability and greater embodiment have all been reported in systems ...

A Novel Patient-Tailored, Cumulative Neurotechnology-Based Therapy for Upper-Limb Rehabilitation in Severely Impaired Chronic Stroke Patients: The AVANCER Study Protocol

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2022
Effective, patient-tailored rehabilitation to restore upper-limb motor function in severely impaired stroke patients is still missing. If suitably combined and administered in a personalized fashion, neurotechnologies offer a large potential to assist ...

Highly Selective Biomimetic Flexible Tactile Sensor for Neuroprosthetics

open access: yesResearch, 2020
Biomimetic flexible tactile sensors endow prosthetics with the ability to manipulate objects, similar to human hands. However, it is still a great challenge to selectively respond to static and sliding friction forces, which is crucial tactile ...
