Abstract
In the last few decades, there have been advances in the field of innovative technologies used for the rehabilitation of people with a motor disability. A great example is the Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) technologies, which allow the control of machines through the brain activity of individuals and contributes to a reorganization of their motor and sensory systems. Thus, several evidences have suggested the use of technologies in the rehabilitation of these patients. The aim of this study was to perform a literature review on the use of technologies applied to motor rehabilitation. To carry out this study, a search for scientific articles was performed in the Pubmed, Scielo and Lilacs databases, in addition to the dissertations and theses found on the CAPES database. There were a total of 24 references, published between 2002 and 2020. According to the literature studied, there is an increase in resources that use technologies as therapeutic options. Many of the conventional interventions are being replaced or associated with these innovative technologies. With the advent of BMI technology and its use in human beings, a technological revolution can be observed in several biomedical areas, thus allowing a multidisciplinary application in the rehabilitation of motor, sensory or cognitive functions in patients. Despite the advances, this subject still shows controversies and before a broad recommendation, more randomized studies and a greater ethical recommendation on the subject will be needed.

Summary
Diversos foram os avanços para as pessoas com alguma deficiência motora ao longo das últimas décadas, tanto em relação às políticas públicas quanto às pesquisas e investimentos surgidos no ramo das tecnologias inovadoras. A Interface Cérebro-Máquina (ICM) é um exemplo de tecnologias que permitem um controle de máquinas por meio da atividade cerebral dos indivíduos. O uso contínuo dessas tecnologias em indivíduos com alguma limitação motora permite uma reorganização dos sistemas motores e sensoriais. Essas neurotecnologias possuem a capacidade de melhorar a resposta das atividades motoras em indivíduos que por algum motivo estão com déficit motor, entretanto as atuais evidências ainda são um pouco controversas, visto a pequena quantidade de estudos clínicos (Coscia et al, 2019). O objetivo desse estudo foi realizar uma revisão de literatura, sobre o uso de tecnologias aplicadas na reabilitação motora, apontando as principais evidências disponíveis na literatura
