SUMMARY:

Motor neuroprostheses (MN) for foot drop is an alternative assistive device for patients with foot drop caused by upper motor neuron lesion. MN provide orthotic effect to users and also long-term benefits such as the improved gait pattern even when not using the device, as a treatment or learning effect. However, in Brazil there is low commercial availability of these devices, most devices are imported and high cost, making it practically inaccessible to its use by the Brazilian population. Considering this context, the aim of this PhD is to evaluate technological innovations related to Technological Innovation, Rehabilitation and Health Technology Assessment (HTA) applied to Stroke, one of the main pathologies of upper motor neuron lesion. We aim to highlight the efficacy, efficiency and effectiveness of motor neuroprostheses in the improvement of activities and participation of individuals with Stroke by performing systematic review. In addition, it is intended to develop an innovative prototype of MN for foot drop that is compatible with patent generation for possible industrial and commercial application in the Brazilian market. This research is under development and involves the Pneumocardiovascular Performance and Respiratory Muscles Laboratory and the Laboratory of Neuroengineering of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte - UFRN. The methodology consisted of two integrated axes: (i) systematic review with meta-analysis, including review protocol; (ii) development of MN device. The results comprised an article, Protocol for a Systematic Review, published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Volume 3, Year 2018, DOI: 10.1002 / 14651858.CD012991, entitled “Motor neuroprosthesis for promoting recovery of function after stroke”; systematic review article submitted to Cochrane's Stroke Group; and preliminary results of the neuroprosthesis device including the capture of raw signals from the thigh, leg and foot sensors. Therefore, the present study is in accordance with PhD Statute of the RENORBIO program in terms of deadlines and criteria for qualification, providing so far the production of qualified scientific evidence on the comprehensive theme that covers the whole category of motor neuroprynthesis for stroke patients, according to aspects of the ATS in partnership with the Cochrane Collaboration, as well as the development of part of an innovative technological prototype with potential for use by the Brazilian health system.
