Stroke Rehabilitation Using BCI Technology
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Functional Electric Stimulation (FES), Behavioral Assessments, and 2 other interventions for Stroke. Completed, enrolled 84 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research is to determine if functional muscle stimulation, directed by electroencephalogram (EEG) output, can increase the extent of stroke recovery on behavioral measures and induce brain plasticity as measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Participants will include stroke patients with upper-limb hemiparesis and can expect to be on study for approximately 4 months.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
FES uses low energy electrical pulses to artificially generate body movements in individuals with muscle paralysis. FES can be used to generate muscle contraction in otherwise paralyzed limbs to restore function.
These assessments will include measures of upper extremity motor assessments, standard stroke scales, and measures of activities of daily living.
A functional magnetic resonance image will be collected.
EEG electrodes will be attached to the subject's scalp using a standard, commercially available electrode cap. Proper electrode placement is made according to the international 10-20 system, ensuring complete electrode coverage over sensorimotor cortex.
