Abstract
Motor prostheses act to restore function to persons with movement disability through device actions trigged by command or intent of the user. There are various modes by which device actions may power or inform the person's movement. For any device mode, actions are based on what the person is intending to do. Regardless of the device, user, or method for restoring function, it is critical to optimize how the device and user respond to one another to maximize the capabilities of the person. In this chapter, we discuss approaches to develop assistive devices and rehabilitation paradigms that restore function to those with movement disabilities through greater cognitive and physiological integration. Mainly, these approaches fall along two lines: (1) adapting devices to facilitate greater agency, or sense of control, of the user and (2) training a user to produce consistent responses that the device can readily recognize and assist.
