Summary

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the main causes of disability. Among post-stroke individuals, 80% experience upper limb dysfunction, while only 5% to 20% of individuals regain full limb and hand function. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of hand rehabilitation of post-stroke individuals using HEG Neurofeedback The study will include 30 participants in the early sub-acute phase post-stroke, who will be assigned to either the study group or the control group. Participants in the experimental group will follow a rehabilitation program extended with HEG Neurofeedback training, while participants in the control group will follow the standard rehabilitation program.

The HEG Neurofeedback therapy equipment will be supplemented with new hand therapy software. During the exercises, patients will focus on a discussed and presented task, and once the expected level of concentration is reached, the software will trigger a virtual hand performing a finger flexion movement.

Motor control of the hand will be assessed using the Fugl-Meyer Scale and Brunnström recovery stages.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Standard Rehabilitation supplemented with Biofeedback HEG

The experimental group will be provided with rehabilitation at the Rehabilitation Clinic and additional exercises with Biofeedback HEG. HEG therapy will be conducted for 15 days, every day from Monday to Friday. The duration of one session is 30 minutes. The HEG Neurofeedback therapy equipment will be supplemented with new hand therapy software. During the exercises, patients will focus on a discussed and presented task, and once the expected level of concentration is reached, the software will trigger a virtual hand performing a finger flexion movement.

OTHER

Standard Rehabilitation

Participants from the control group will be provided with rehabilitation at the Rehabilitation Clinic and an additional 30 minutes of individual physiotherapy focused on restoring hand function.
