No clinical finding to report.
This paper proposes an ethical design framework for assistive and rehabilitation technology, not a study of patients or outcomes.
What this paper is
This paper is a narrative review and conceptual framework for ethical design of neuroengineering, assistive and rehabilitation technologies. It discusses proactive ethics, user-centered design, value-sensitive design, and the CYBATHLON competition, but it reports no patients, no methods, and no clinical outcomes, so there is no finding here to change practice.
