Abstract

Neuroprostheses are medical devices which, interfaced with the nervous system, are able to provoke the artificial generation of nerve signals. These signals, correctly coded, can then be interpreted by target organs such as the muscles.

Keywords: déficience motrice; electric stimulation; motor impairment; muscle; neuroprosthesis; neuroprothèse; stimulation électrique.
