A New Generation of High-Tech Solutions for Neurorehabilitation in the Central Nervous System

This issue is now closed for submissions.

Description

Neurorehabilitation of the central nervous system (CNS) is an important part of rehabilitation medicine, and its theory is based on neuroplasticity and the relationships between nerves and movement, sensation, metabolism, and the system of the whole body. There are multiple options for intervention in neurological rehabilitation - in addition to physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, electric physiotherapy, and other classical methods, new treatment methods produced by the latest scientific and technological progress are also playing an important role. For example, cutting-edge brain-computer interface research has achieved interactive computer game operations with fine brainwave control. At the same time, computer technology is playing an integral part in neurorehabilitation interventions, such as deep neural network diagnosis and treatment recommendation systems for stroke patients. In basic theoretical research, the role of technology has greatly changed traditional scientific research methods, with technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) image recognition, AI assisted laboratory technology, and AI protein and nucleic acid chips greatly increasing the efficiency of research methods.

However, the structural remodeling of neural circuits and the technologies improving research methods are often invented by engineers who can be unfamiliar with the clinical situation these technologies will face. Experimental ethics, the effectiveness of equipment, and clinical verification all need medical professionals, and so the development of high-tech neurorehabilitation technologies cannot grow without doctors. Multidisciplinary teamwork is the solution to the clinical effectiveness of high-tech products for neurorehabilitation.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect information on multidisciplinary teamwork in high-tech products for neurorehabilitation, in order to provide a platform for colleagues in related fields to report their study process, to exchange supplies and needs between professional and technical personnel, and to promote the development of neural plasticity research in the field of neurorehabilitation. We welcome original research and review articles providing an overview of advances in rehabilitation related to the areas of treatment methods, high-tech methods, evaluation schemes, and theoretical research.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • The mechanisms of neural plasticity and brain-computer interface therapy equipment in hand function rehabilitation
  • Studies of magnetic stimulation therapy for neurogenesis in patients with CNS disorders
  • Reviews of the influence of electromagnetic induction and magnetic field intensity on the nervous system
  • Reviews of new rehabilitation equipment, technology, and methods for neurogenesis
  • The mechanisms of neuroregeneration in post-acute stroke patients with rehabilitation interventions
  • Studies of artificial intelligence map recognition systems in nerve cell immunohistochemistry
  • Studies on the regulation of electrostimulation in nerve cell repair
  • Reviews of the new development of intelligent protein chips
