Efficacy of brain-computer interfaces on upper extremity motor function rehabilitation after stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis suggests that BCI has a slight efficacy in improving upper limb function and has favorable long-term outcomes. In terms of total duration of training, < 12 hours of training may lead to better rehabilitation.PMID:38143387 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-230215 (Source: NeuroRehabilitation)

A narrative review of the use of a cutting-edge virtual reality rehabilitation technology in neurological and neuropsychological rehabilitation
CONCLUSION: After discussing each study according to the type of rehabilitation we concluded that the use and efficacy of VRRS rehabilitative intervention for increasing the neurological and neuropsychological functioning of patients are promising but more evidence is needed to make a comparison with conventional treatment. Future studies should also include long-term follow-up as well as cost-effectiveness analysis.PMID:38143388 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-230066 (Source: NeuroRehabilitation)

Predicting normative data in healthy individuals on the computerized wisconsin card sorting test using regression models
CONCLUSION: As a result of our research, norm values between 18-78 years of age were produced using RA. It was determined that gender was not significant for any sub-score. Therefore, only age and education level from socio-demographic variables were included in the model.PMID:38143392 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-230164 (Source: NeuroRehabilitation)
