| Sumario: | This chapter summarizes current status and perspectives in hardware technologies for medical rehabilitation. The chapter’s first part describes the long journey from basic rehabilitation technologies toward modern robotic devices for gait restoration. The second part of the chapter revolves around a context-based use of hardware techniques: their connection with rehabilitation goals, International Classification of Functioning (ICF) coding, rationale for use, and combinations with other treatment modalities. This part summarizes the opportunities of modern hardware gait and highlights their limitations, both clinical and organizational. The third part revolves around available evidence-based data on the comparative effectiveness of rehabilitation technologies in different clinical scenarios. The final subchapter describes the state-of-the-art hardware restoration techniques, including implanted electrodes, exoskeletons etc., as well as gives an outlook toward the challenges faced with researchers and healthcare professionals. |
