MECHANOTHERAPY

5. The technique of using sensors to provide real-time data to a patient about their physiological functions during robotic training.
7. The sensation that an amputated limb is still attached (___ limb pain).
8. The component of a robotic simulator responsible for moving or controlling a mechanism (the "muscles" of the robot).
11. The "sixth sense" of body position; a major challenge in developing advanced prosthetics is restoring this feedback.
13. Relating to the sense of touch; robotic simulators use this technology to provide "force feedback" to the user.
14. An artificial device that replaces a missing body part.

1. A term for prostheses that use electromechanical components to mimic natural biological functions.
2. The surgical process of fusing a prosthetic limb directly to the patient's bone for increased stability.
3. The use of mechanical means (tools, machines, or devices) to treat disease or complement recovery.
4. A type of prosthesis controlled by the electrical signals generated by a user’s own muscles.
6. The specific pattern of walking; robotic trainers often help patients correct or relearn this.
9. (Abbreviation) Activities of Daily Living; the primary goal of social rehabilitation is to help disabled people perform these independently.
10. An externally applied device used to modify the structural and functional characteristics of the neuromuscular and skeletal system (e.g., a brace).
12. A wearable robotic suit that provides structural support and powered movement for individuals with paralysis.
15. The social goal of rehabilitation, ensuring disabled individuals have equal access to work, education, and community life.
