cyborg

According to the above article, exoskeleton cyborg types of robots have helped in improving medical ways of treating patients.

This claim was brought about by the above authors to discuss how disabled people, people who have lost their legs can walk again. The theme discussed in this article is how people can walk again with the use of exoskeleton (Sankai, & Sakurai, 2018). This metal-made walking machine is used in providing back support of the disabled individual. Having been discussed in many articles, I found that application or applying this kind of technology can bring a high impact on helping out disabled persons. Some implications concerning this technological item include increasing the affected individual standing and walking times and decrease sitting times which ameliorate consequences on health matters.

This article discusses how myoelectric and mechanical devices are used in healthcare facilities to replace the hands of children especially those suffering from trauma and congenital hand removal when going through surgery.

This claim means that children who have undergone a hand surgery can be able to use their hands again though not human hands but technologically made hands (Zuniga et al 2015). Myoelectric and mechanical devices are so much preferred to be used in children due to their small size development. According to some articles, the application of this type of technology may be of help but in others especially a movie I watched to see a child strain to use the robot made hand this technology is unrealistic and a contradicted one.

The article's argument is about the use of implantable electromyography in restoring cognitive functions especially to patients with hemiplegia caused by stroke.

This article argues that electromyography use can help treat patients experiencing a stroke. This article has also specified its study on pilots who have limbs problem especially after an accident has occurred (Gaggioli, 2017). I come to know about the use of this technological method from various types of articles that have discussed the same. Motor related areas in the human body, are provided with electrical stimulation which results in muscle atrophy prevention and reduction of spasticity.
