Summary

This study is carried out to find out if Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology or BCI technology coupled with robotic technology using a Haptic Knob will benefit patients with arm paralysis after stroke. BCI uses EEG-based motor imagery to detect user's thinking abilities which control motor movement. Haptic Knob is a novel robotic device, which specifically trains the wrist and hand with intensive repetitions in a supported environment.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Occupational Therapy

Use of conventional manual facilitation and function-based training used in conventional occupational therapy training for post-stroke upper limb weakness. Training is modelled along the neurodevelopmental techniques and will include stretching, tone management, weight bearing exercises, movement facilitation, selfcare training, arm ergometry by arm bicycles and grip strength training. Training intensity is 1.5 hours for 3 times a week for 6 weeks consecutively.

DEVICE

BCI Haptic Knob

BCI based robotic rehabilitation works by detecting the motor intent of the user from electroencephalogram signals to drive the robotic rehabilitation via Haptic Knob. Training intensity is 1.5 hours for 3 times a week for 6 weeks consecutively.

DEVICE

Haptic Knob

Haptic Knob is an upper limb robot designed for use in robotic-assisted rehabilitation of the stroke wrist and hand. Training intensity is 1.5 hours for 3 times a week for 6 weeks consecutively.
