Researchers from the Santos Dumont Institute, a social organization linked to the Ministry of Education located in Maca\u00edba, participated in the book \u201cAdvances in Technology-Assisted Neurorehabilitation\u201d, published by Academic Press. The work is the result of collaboration between research groups from Brazil, Ecuador, Spain, Germany and Japan and its main theme is assistive technologies in rehabilitation combined with concepts from neuroscience.<\/span><\/p>\n

ISD research professors Denis Delisle Rodriguez, Caroline Cunha do Esp\u00edrito Santo and Andr\u00e9 Dantas participated, together with Thayse Albuquerque and Andr\u00e9 Oliveira, graduates of the institution's Neuroengineering Postgraduate Program, as authors of one of the book's chapters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The portion of the work signed by the scientists from Maca\u00edba presents advanced technological solutions for the motor rehabilitation of upper limbs, with the central theme being brain-computer interfaces, technologies capable of connecting the human mind to devices and systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The researchers explain that, through electrical stimulation devices and virtual reality games, it is possible to enhance the recovery of hand functions, which in many cases are compromised due to neurological dysfunctions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese technological alternatives add new knowledge to the field of Neuroengineering, enabling the creation of new therapeutic proposals for complex cases with severe neurological damage through brain-computer interfaces, which have been the subject of studies worldwide\u201d, explains one of the authors, Professor Denis Delisle Rodriguez.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the solutions specifically presented and described in the chapter is an upper limb rehabilitation system, developed at ISD, which uses virtual reality and electrical stimulation. The aim of the invention is to restore functions such as, for example, \u201cgrasping\u201d objects with the hands. The system is aimed at two audiences: people with hemiparesis (partial muscle weakness) resulting from a stroke and people with tetraplegia due to a spinal cord injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe system is currently being applied to individuals with tetraplegia, with promising results that can improve their quality of life. For ISD, which provides care for spinal cord injuries, this is a huge contribution, since these people need to acquire skills for locomotion and other daily activities,\u201d says Professor Caroline Cunha do Esp\u00edrito Santo.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the ISD scientists, professionals from the Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo, the Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica Salesiana (Ecuador), Kumamoto University (Japan), the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Spain) and the Charit\u00e9 \u2013 Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin (Germany) contributed to the chapter. The complete book can be accessed or purchased through the website <\/span>Elsevier<\/span><\/a> or in <\/span>Amazon<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
