Topic : Future & Application of Artificial Intelligence

(AI) in Prosthetic and Orthotic Rehabilitation


 This review paper explores the application of artificial
intelligence (AI) in advanced prosthetic devices, including
limbs, retinal prosthetics, hearing prosthetics, and ortho
dental prosthetics, with the aim of enhancing functionality
and customization.
 The research problem centers around understanding AI's
forthcoming impact on prosthetic advancements.
 The study's objectives are twofold: to identify current AI
applications in prosthetics and to project future
possibilities.
 The paper uses qualitative secondary analysis to review
existing research.
 By leveraging AI algorithms, prosthetic limbs can interpret
nerve signals derived from the patient's muscles, resulting
in more precise control and operation.
 AI-driven advancements include myoelectric prostheses
that utilize electromyography signals, bionic legs that
adapt to different environments based on user feedback,
and prosthetic arms capable of executing actions using
computer vision recognition.
 Additionally, AI improves retinal prosthetics by combining
neural networks with computer vision techniques to refine
facial features, enhance environmental representation,
and ensure safety.
 In hearing prosthetics, AI, machine learning, and neural
networks enable devices to adapt to individual hearing
needs and background noise environments
 Recently, a mind controlled limb (type of myoelectric
controlling) was introduced as the latest advancement in
the artificial intelligence-aided control system.

 Sensors are placed on the skin over the muscles on the


residual limb and when the user contracts the muscles, it is
interpreted as electric signals that are then converted into
commands that control the movement of the prosthetics.

 The integration of AI in prosthetic devices holds the


potential to enhance functionality, improve control and
customization, and provide a more natural user
experience, benefiting millions worldwide with limb
amputations, vision and hearing impairments, and dental
prosthetic needs.
