Full Description
This book offers a timely snapshot of research of biomedical and neural engineering, and their applications in neurorehabilitation. It gathers peer-reviewed contributions to three different conference editions (of the series Summer School on Neurorehabilitation (SSNR)) , which were held in Baiona, Spain, on June 12-17, 2022, June 11-16, 2023, and June 16-21, 2024, respectively. They report on applications of cutting-edge neuroprosthetic devices, robotic interfaces, and related technologies to assist patients with neurologic and musculoskeletal conditions, such as stroke, spinal cord injury, and amputation, among others. A special feature consists of the fact that both technological and clinical issues are discussed, providing readers with a multidisciplinary perspective on neurorehabilitation research and practice.
