Non-Invasive Brain Signal Training to Induce Motor Control Recovery After Stroke

NCT00746525 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 8

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the benefits of combination motor learning training and brain computer interface training for restoring arm function in people with stroke. Our aim was to determine whether the surface-acquired brain signal (electroencephalography (EEG)) can feasibly be used as a neural feedback system to drive more normal motor function in stroke survivors.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Surface functional electrical stimulation (FES)

FES is a technique that electrically stimulates a muscle in a comfortable manner in order to contract the muscle. It uses an electrode placed on the surface of the skin. This study will use BCI, FES, and motor learning interventions to address upper extremity motor deficits following stroke.

OTHER

Motor learning

Motor learning is an exercise that uses movements needed for everyday tasks such as picking up a glass or opening a book. This study will use BCI, FES, and motor learning interventions to address upper extremity motor deficits following stroke.

OTHER

Brain computer interface (BCI) training

BCI training uses signals produced by the brain to help individuals with stroke move their weak arm. This study will use BCI, FES and motor learning interventions to address upper extremity motor deficits following stroke.
