BCI and FES for Hand Therapy in Spinal Cord Injury

NCT01852279 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 15

Last updated 2020-12-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will assess whether functional recovery of the hand muscles in patients with spinal cord injury is enhanced when electrical stimulation of the muscles is delivered actively by means of using the electroencephalography wave patterns arising from the patient imagining moving their hand to operate the stimulator. A control group will obtain the electrical stimulation treatment passively by a therapist operating the machine.
