Summary

One-third of patients who had stroke suffered persistent disabilities, and upper limb (UL) motor impairment is one of the main disabilities. Recent clinical studies had been conducted using non-invasive EEG-based BCI via motor imagery, for post-stroke rehabilitation, yielded motor improvement of 7.2 on the Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment (FMA-UE)score in chronic stroke patients that is significantly better than standard care. However, all the stroke patients underwent the same "one-size-fits-all" treatment option involving all six different activities of daily living (ADL)-oriented tasks regardless of their impairment or ability.

Investigators hypothesize that precision personalized stroke rehabilitation intervention that is tailored to the patient hold more promise than a "one-size-fits-all" stroke rehabilitation strategy.

Interventions

DEVICE

MBCI-SR

Participants will be asked to wear and EEG+NIRS cap and a soft robotic glove on their stroke-impaired hand. The participant will be instructed to ask to imagine to picture moving the stroke-imparied hand in the mind. The brain signal (EEG and NIRS data) will be recorded as a reference. When the participant pictures this move again, upon detection of such imagined move by MBCI-SR system, the glove will be activated and assists the participants to perform a specific upper limb task based on individual ability. There are six different activities of daily living (ADL)-oriented tasks enacted through a virtual arm and virtual objects, which formed the visual feedback for the participants. These tasks include scanning goods, moving an object upward to a cabinet, using two hands to move a towel, pouring of water into a cup, eating action and fine motor movement of picking up a small block using two fingers. Training intensity is 1.5 hours for 3 times a week for 6 weeks, a total of 18 sessions.
