Neuroprostheses electrically stimulate paralyzed muscles to provide functional enhancement for individuals with neurological disorders, especially among persons with spinal cord injuries. Fully implanted neuroprostheses are reliable, require minimal maintenance and are user-friendly. These systems provide a variety of functions, including reaching, hand grasp and release, standing and stepping, bladder and bowel function and respiratory assist. Based on a representative review of the literature, this article presents and evaluates the development, clinical implementation and clinical efficacy and effectiveness of the various implanted neuroprostheses. Directions for future development are also presented.
神经假体通过电刺激麻痹的肌肉，为患有神经系统疾病的个体，尤其是脊髓损伤患者提供功能增强。完全植入式神经假体可靠、维护需求极少且用户友好。这些系统提供多种功能，包括伸手、手部抓握与松开、站立与行走、膀胱和肠道功能以及呼吸辅助。基于对文献的代表性综述，本文介绍并评估了各种植入式神经假体的发展、临床应用、临床疗效及有效性。还提出了未来的发展方向。
