O174 Preliminary results of testing the recoveriX system on stroke patients

Motor imagery based brain-computer interfaces (BCI) extract the movement intentions of subjects in real-time and can be used to control a cursor or medical devices. In the last years, the control of functional electrical stimulation (FES) devices drew researchers ’ attention for the post-stroke rehabilitation field. In here, a patient can use the movement imagery to artificially induce movements of the paretic arms through FES in real-time.Five patients who had a stroke that affected the motor system participated in the current study, and were trained acro ss 10 to 24 sessions lasting about 40min each with the recoveriX® system.
