Abstract

Improvements in the effectiveness of contemporary neurorehabilitation emphasize the need for a shift from a specific approach to intervention to an eclectic approach to intervention. The novel strategies of brain-computer interfaces' and neuroprostheses' application in an eclectic approach to intervention may be regarded as leading the way in clinical practice development. There is a limited amount of evidence both in the areas of theoretical principles and clinical applications, but it seems the application of various rehabilitation methods and techniques may effectively support the outcomes of the BCI's and NP's use. The author aims investigates the extent to which the available opportunities are being exploited, including current and potential future applications of neuroprostheses within an eclectic approach to intervention in neurorehabilitation.
