Iteknoloji entsha inceda umntu okhubazekile ukuba adle aze aphuze ngokwakhe

Indoda eyayikhubazekile ngaphantsi kwamahlombe, yakwazi ukubuyisela umsebenzi wezandla emva kokuba abaphandi bavavanya kuye iteknoloji entsha edibanisa ingqondo kunye nezihlunu.

Gcwalisa ukukhubazeka

UBill Kohwar oneminyaka engama-56 ubudala wakwazi ukuziphindela ngokwakhe, emva kokuba ososayensi basebenzise inkqubo ekwazi ukuchaza izibonakaliso zobuchopho nokuzidlulisela kwiisenzi esandleni sakhe. Le ndoda yahlaselwa yintlungu yomgogodla ngenxa yengozi yebhayisikili iminyaka eyisi-8 edlulileyo.

Lelokuqala ngqa umntu okhubazekile ngokupheleleyo wakwazi ukuthabatha izinto usebenzisa amandla akhe okucinga, athi abaphandi e-Case Western Reserve University baqhube iteknoloji.

Umbhali ohamba phambili womsebenzi, uBol Aghiboya, Ph.D., uthi nangona uphando lusekuqaleni kwenkqubo kwaye ubuchwepheshe buye lwavavanywa kumntu oyedwa kuphela, olu phuhliso lunokutshintsha ubomi babantu abaphila nokukhubazeka.

Neuroprosthetics

Iingcali zenzululwazi zasebenzisa ubugcisa be-neuroprosthetics ukubuyisela imisebenzi yemoto kumadoda. Le teknoloji ayikwazi ukuphilisa ukulimala komgudu. Endaweni yoko, isebenzisa umbane kagqirha engqondweni ukuze kubangele ukunyakaza komzimba. Imiphumo idluliselwa kwiisenzi ezifakwe kwisandla.

Le ndoda yathotyelwa kwiingqondo, ngexesha apho yayisungulwe ngabaphathi kwiindawo ezijongene nokuhamba kwezandla. Emva koko izazinzulu zibeka ama-electrode angama-36 ukuvuselela izihlunu kwiindawo eziphezulu nezantsi. Oku kunceda ukubuyisela ukunyakaza kwiminwe, isandla, umgca kunye nehlombe.

Emva koko abaphandi badibanisa iingqondo kwingqondo kulabo ababekwe kwingalo ukuze bavelise iziphambano zomzimba. Oku kuye kwanceda loo mntu ukuba enze ukunyuka ayekucingayo.

Nangona umntu okhubazekile wayesefuna ukuxhaswa, njengoko izandla zakhe zancipha, waqala ukwenza imisebenzi ethile ngokuzimeleyo, umzekelo, unokutya okanye ukusela indebe yekhofi ngepayipi.

Ithemba elihle lobuchwepheshe obutsha

USteve Perlmatter, MD, evela kwiYunivesithi yaseWashington, ubiza ucwaningo "olutsha," kodwa uthi akukafaneli ukusetyenziswa kwansuku zonke. Ngokomzekelo, ukunyakaza okwenziwa ngumntu kwakunzima kwaye kuphuculwa kwaye kwakudinga ukuqinisekiswa okubonakala rhoqo.

Nangona kunjalo, ucinga ukuba iziphumo zifumene umboniso onomdla wokuba abantu baya kukwazi ukunqoba ukukhubazeka ngokuncedisa i-motor neuroprosthetics.
