[/ˌnjʊroʊprɑːsˈθɛtɪks/]
nounpl: neuroprosthetics (uncountable) / neuroprosthetic devices (countable)
neuroprotetização
1. The field of biomedical engineering and neuroscience that develops artificial devices to replace, restore, or enhance neural function, typically by interfacing with the nervous system
Neuroprosthetics has revolutionized treatment options for patients with spinal cord injuries.
A neuroprotetização revolucionou as opções de tratamento para pacientes com lesões na medula espinhal.
2. Prosthetic devices that are directly interfaced with the nervous system to restore lost sensory or motor function
Advanced neuroprosthetics can allow paralyzed individuals to control robotic limbs through brain signals.
Dispositivos neuroprotetizados avançados podem permitir que indivíduos paralisados controlem membros robóticos através de sinais cerebrais.
3. Technology involving brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and neural implants for functional restoration
Researchers are developing neuroprosthetics to help stroke patients regain motor control.
Pesquisadores estão desenvolvendo soluções de neuroprotetização para ajudar pacientes com acidente vascular cerebral a recuperar o controle motor.
Neuroprosthetics is a rapidly growing field in both the United States and Brazil, with significant research investments from universities and medical institutions. In Brazil, the term is increasingly used in scientific publications and medical conferences, particularly as neurotechnology research expands. The field represents cutting-edge innovation in both countries, though adoption and accessibility remain limited to specialized medical centers. The technology carries cultural significance as a symbol of medical progress and hope for patients with neurological disabilities.
