A Wearable Open-Source Neuroprosthesis/Neuro-Orthosis for Restoring Hand Function
Editorial data: MDPI - SENSORS JOURNAL
Abstract: This paper presents a wearable, open-source system that combines electromyography (EMG) and functional electrical stimulation (FES) to restore hand function in individuals with disabilities caused by cervical spinal cord injuries or stroke. The device captures electrical signals produced during volitional muscle contractions and analyzes them to interpret the user’s intent to move. This information is then used to stimulate impaired muscles, promoting improved hand function and rehabilitation. The system serves as both an orthotic device for enhancing grasping ability and a therapeutic tool for rehabilitating hemiparetic hands, with potential for broader applications.

Assistive Technology for Arm Mobility in Europe - A guide for greater autonomy, created by and for users, organisations, and healthcare professionals
Editorial data: ORTHOPUS
Abstract: Although wheelchairs rather than walkers or other aids related to mobility or overcoming architectural barriers have entered the collective imagination as tools for the independence and autonomy of people with disabilities there are other technological solutions and products that, probably in an equally significant and effective way, they help to support, consolidate or extend the execution of specific daily activities that allow the improvement of the quality of life. These include devices, even wearables, that assist people in moving an arm or using a hand completely. Tools still not very common on the market and largely unknown to the world of disability, as well as unfortunately also by many rehabilitation workers, who require knowledge, an interdisciplinary approach, assessment and adoption in the face of the different skills required (physical physician and neurologist, rehabilitation therapist, occupational therapist, educator, caregiver and end user). This guide has been co-written by healthcare professionals, associations, equipment installers and researchers aims to provide the foundation on this topic.
