“…Clinically, neuroma resection or nerve traction is often used to relieve the pain symptoms of neuromas, but nearly 35% of patients do not control their pain symptoms after treatment. TR surgery connects the residual nerve with the target muscle or the corresponding nerve [35,38]. Although it is difficult to ensure a one-to-one correspondence, compared with autologous nerve transplantation or transplantation, the cost is much smaller.…”

Somatic nerves include somatic sensory and somatic motor, both of which are part of the peripheral nervous system. When somatic motor nerve or somatosensory nerve produces injury, then it belongs to peripheral nerve injury. Peripheral nerve injuries are common disease and complex process in clinical surgery. The severe physical dysfunctions such as motor/sensory loss, dyskinesia, and nutritional disorders in the area innervated caused by the peripheral nerve injury and even leave a lifelong disability. Therefore, somatic nerve reconstruction is essential and remains a major challenge for surgeons. Therapeutic methods include neurorrhaphy and nerve transfer or redistribution reconstruction; traditional Chinese medicineassisted nerve regeneration and repair methods have been increasingly improved, even the functional recovery of peripheral nerve has not made breakthrough progress. All kinds of reconstruction and neural rehabilitation technologies have their own advantages, but they all have some limitations. Although great progress has been made in nerve electrophysiology and microsurgery, the results are still unsatisfactory. This chapter reviews the application of peripheral nerve reconstruction technology and briefly describes the advantages and disadvantages of each method, which will be useful for the selection of clinical treatment.

“…Osborn et al [41] added the feedback functionality to the myoelectric prostheses. In this work, force sensors were added to the surface of the prostheses fingers, and information from these sensors is sent back to the myoelectric prosthesis, closing a finger loop with the prosthesis force controller.…”

This paper compiles and analyzes some of the most current works related to upper limb prosthesis with emphasis on man-machine interfaces. A brief introduction of the basic subjects is given to explain what a prosthesis is, what types of prostheses exist, what they serve for, how they communicate with the user (control and feedback), and what technologies are involved. The method used in this review is also discussed, as well as the cataloging process and analysis of articles for the composition of this review. Each article is analyzed individually and its results are presented in a succinct way, in order to facilitate future research and serve as a source for professionals related to the area of prosthesis, such as doctors, engineers, researchers, and anyone interested in this subject. Finally, the needs and difficulties of the current prostheses, as well as the negative and positive points in the results are analyzed, and the progress achieved so far is discussed.

“…This biomimetic system is also used to identify shape and movement of objects, detect braille characters and, when connected to efferent nerves of a cockroach, it demonstrated a hybrid bioelectronic reflex arc and control biological muscles. This promising study can be included in the general framework of neuromorphic technology in neuroprosthetics with potential future applications in neurorobotics.…”

functions of nervous system when damages occur. Moreover, in case of physical impairments, the use of artificial tactile sensors is also paramount to ensure the possibility to restore the sense of touch to the patient. Bioinspiration from human natural touch could help in the release of enhanced tactile sensors to be used in neuroprosthetics. Technological and biological advancements brought serious improvements in the quality of these devices, such as miniaturization and increased biocompatibility. This article reviews the essential design criteria, working principles, materials, and technical considerations on neural interfaces and tactile sensors; their clinical application in neuroprosthetics and their future progress toward optimized solutions. Neural InterfacesA neural interface device (NID) is an implantable tool that aims at restoring nervous system functions in case of impairments or communicates with external components (e.g., limb prostheses); its main objective is to record neural signal from a small group of axons/cells or to stimulate a selected area of the nervous system. The clinical potentialities of NIDs range from their applications in central nervous system (CNS) for treating epilepsy seizures, mitigating Parkinson's disease; in peripheral nervous system (PNS) for controlling limb prostheses in amputees and restore sensory feedback; in autonomous nervous system such as vagus nerve to treat drug-resistant epilepsy and chronic depression to finally auditory and vision systems to restore the perception of specific sounds and phosphenes. An ideal NID should be biocompatible, highly selective, low invasive and stable over long time. If intended for clinical applications, the functionality of a NID should be reliable and should last decades. Considering the different implantation sites of interest of the device, various solutions have been proposed to optimize the communication between the NID and the surrounding environment. Figure 1 highlights the main applications of most common used NIDs in neuroprosthetics. With a special focus on implantable neuroprostheses and motor system, this paragraph will portray the design criteria, the materials and technical considerations heretofore used for the development of diverse types of NID used in CNS and PNS.Neuroprosthetics and neuromodulation represent a promising field for several related applications in the central and peripheral nervous system, such as the treatment of neurological disorders, the control of external robotic devices, and the restoration of lost tactile functions. These actions are allowed by the neural interface, a miniaturized implantable device that most commonly exploits electrical energy to fulfill these operations. A neural interface must be biocompatible, stable over time, low invasive, and highly selective; the challenge is to develop a safe, compact, and reliable tool for clinical applications. In case of anatomical impairments, neuroprosthetics is bound to the need of exploring the surrounding environment by fast-responsive and ...
