Abstract

The field of neuroprosthetics and rehabilitation engineering has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, revolutionizing the way individuals with disabilities interact with their environment and regain functional abilities. This paper examines the latest developments in this interdisciplinary domain, focusing on novel technologies, methodologies, and applications that have expanded the horizons of potential solutions for individuals with neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic injuries, and congenital disorders. The integration of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), neural interfaces, and machine learning algorithms has led to the development of sophisticated neuroprosthetic devices capable of real-time control and interaction with the human nervous system. Additionally, the paper discusses the role of virtual reality and augmented reality in enhancing rehabilitation outcomes, as well as the challenges in translating these technologies from research to clinical practice. The potential for personalized treatment, improved quality of life, and the integration of assistive technologies into daily activities are highlighted as key areas of progress and future directions.
