Abstract: Neural prosthesis control system is based on brain-computer interface and functional electrical stimulation technology, by analyzing the electroencephalograph control commands directly into the muscle system or an external device, which compensated efferent pathway from the brain-spinal cord, and recovered motor function of patients with cervical spinal cord injury. This paper described the basic structure, working principle and key technology of neural prosthetic system, summarized the application, problems and prospects of neural prosthetic technology in the rehabilitation of cervical spinal cord injury.

Key words: neural prosthesis, brain-computer interface, cervical spinal cord injury, rehabilitation, review
