Future
The future of spinal cord injury robotics is leading to a method
to regenerate the part spinal chord that has been affected by
injury. However, current technology is directed towards
“maintaining the health of bone and soft tissue” in the areas that
are effected by degeneration. Robotics can help an individual with
spinal cord injuries like tetraplegia, so that he/she can work and
perform daily activities of life. In addition, robotics can assist
in improving “surgical interventions” of such injuries. Also,
future plans include “continued study of the mechanisms and
healing of long bone fractures in our patients as well as
implementation of educational programs to reduce their
occurrences. Scientists are working towards improving such
technology so that it is completely safe, robust, and allows an
individual to return to his/her normal daily routines of life.
