The application of biomimetic limbs in postoperative rehabilitation of amputees

Abstract

Due to the inability to provide recovery opportunities, amputation is generally considered a failure of treatment. Traditional prostheses cannot interact with the surrounding environment, and the contact surface between the prosthesis and the residual limb is prone to wear and tear, causing pain to patients. Therefore, prostheses are generally regarded by patients as tools rather than a part of the body. In recent years, with the continuous development of artificial intelligence, materials science, and biomedical engineering technology, bionic limb technology has received widespread attention and application. Currently, bone integration and electromyography interface technology are widely applied in bionic limbs, allowing for more realistic and diverse options for prostheses for patients. Material innovation and machine learning technology can improve the mechanical performance, perceptual feedback effects, and autonomous learning ability of bionic limbs, but further research and exploration are still needed. This review paper aims to summarize and evaluate the current development status, application areas, and future research directions of bionic limb technology.
