Claim One:
1. A neuroprosthetic device for restoring daily-life action movements of upper limbs in a patient suffering from motor impairments, the device comprising: a plurality of non-invasive electrodes adapted to be fixed on a body of the patient to stimulate at least two separate muscles which participate in an execution of a movement of the upper limb of the body of the patient; an electrical stimulation device for providing an electrical current to each of the plurality of electrodes; a controller device for controlling each of the electrical currents of the electrical stimulation device; an intention transducing device adapted to generate an input signal for the controller device, the input signal representing an intention of the patient to execute the movement; and a constraining device configured to constraint the movements or immobilize a part of a healthy upper limb of the patient, the constraining device configured to allow sufficient mobility of a hand and a wrist of the healthy upper limb of the patient to operate the intention transducing device, and wherein the controller device controls each of the electrical currents based on the input signal from the intention transducing device to modulate the execution of the movement, so that movements of the upper limb of the body are generated for performing daily-living activities.
