Technology is playing an increasingly important role in the rehabilitation of people with neurological problems.
Experts have highlighted the use of technological advances, such as neuroprosthetics, in the recovery of the Central Nervous System (CNS). This approach is based on innovative techniques that allow those who have suffered CNS injuries to control external devices through brain signals, thus, improving their quality of life. From wheelchair control to thought-controlled prosthetics, these new technologies are revolutionizing the way people affected by neurological injuries recover and return to a full life.
The Centro Europeo de Neurociencias (European Neuroscience Center, CEN) has been instrumental in organizing a leading international event of experts in the field. During this event, the advances made in the field of neurological rehabilitation using state-of-the-art technologies were explored. Some of these innovations include neuromodulation, neuroprosthetics, and brain-machine interfaces.
Example of some technological advances in healthcare
Neuromodulation, for example, involves the application of electrical or chemical stimuli to the CNS to modulate the activity of the nervous system. This form of treatment is used to control and alleviate various neurological and psychiatric disorders. In the specific case of neurorehabilitation, brain-machine interfaces make it possible to activate electrostimulation devices or combine spinal cord stimulators to help people with spinal cord injuries regain their ability to walk. Even iconic companies such as Onward have contributed their expertise in this area to drive the development of solutions that enable people with spinal cord injuries to walk again.
In short, technology applied to neuroprosthetics and neurorehabilitation is bringing about important changes in the lives of people affected by neurological injuries. These advances offer new opportunities and hope, allowing patients to control their environment and improve their quality of life by harnessing the power of the mind and technical advances.
