The long-term durability and safety of implanted devices is of great importance in the field of motor neuroprosthetics, where systems may possibly be utilized in excess of 50 years by some individuals. Neuroprosthetic systems have now been implanted in the upper extremity of spinal cord injured individuals for more than 20 years. The experience with these systems shows a high level of durability of the implanted components, particularly the stimulating electrodes and leads.
植入式设备的长期耐用性和安全性在运动神经假体领域至关重要，在该领域中，一些人使用相关系统的时间可能超过50年。神经假体系统现已植入脊髓损伤患者的上肢超过20年。这些系统的使用经验表明植入部件，特别是刺激电极和导线，具有很高的耐用性。
