Summary

The goal of this neurorehabilitation explorative study is to investigate how a closed-loop Brain-Computer Interface Functional Electrical Stimulation (BCI-FES) therapy, used within the intended purpose for hand rehabilitation, may impact swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) and language disorders (aphasia) in post-stroke patients.

Conditions

  • Ischaemic Stroke
  • Hemorrhagic Stroke

Interventions

DEVICE

closed-loop BCI-FES device

Closed-loop neurorehabilitation system that combines EEG-based brain-computer interface technology with functional electrical stimulation (FES) to facilitate neural and motor recovery.
