Neural Interfaces for Control of Upper Limb Prostheses: The State of the Art and Future Possibilities

Schultz, Aimee E., Kuiken, Todd A.·2011·PM&R

Abstract

Current treatment of upper limb amputation restores some degree of functional ability, but this ability falls far below the standard set by the natural arm. Although acceptance rates can be high when patients are highly motivated and receive proper training and care, current prostheses often fail to meet the daily needs of amputees and frequently are abandoned. Recent advancements in science and technology have led to promising methods of accessing neural information for communication or control. Researchers have explored invasive and noninvasive methods of connecting with muscles, nerves, or the brain to provide increased functionality for patients experiencing disease or injury, including amputation. These techniques offer hope of more natural and intuitive prosthesis control, and therefore increased quality of life for amputees. In this review, we discuss the current state of the art of neural interfaces, particularly those that may find application within the prosthetics field.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Percutaneous interfaces have a continuous risk of infection, which has caused many to conclude that fully implantable, telemetered systems are necessary for long-term prosthetic applications.

    “However, these interfaces have a continuous risk of infection which has 'caused many to conclude that fully implantable, telemetered systems are necessary' for long term prosthetic applications (Schultz and Kuiken 2011).”

  • Sophisticated approaches have been developed to control prosthetic hands intuitively.

    “Major strides have been made in the development of approaches to control these hands either by decoding motor intent from myoelectric signals (Fougner et al., 2012;Schultz and Kuiken, 2011) or from the activation of neurons in motor cortex (Bensmaia and Miller, 2014;Wodlinger et al., 2015).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
