Muscle Synergy-Based Functional Electrical Stimulation Reduces Muscular Fatigue in Post-Stroke Patients: A Systematic Comparison
Muscle synergy-based functional electrical stimulation had improved movement kinematics instantly and in long-term use in post-stroke patients. However, the therapeutic benefits and efficacy of muscle synergy-based functional electrical stimulation patterns over traditional stimulation patterns need exploration. This paper presents the therapeutic benefits of muscle synergy-based functional electrical stimulation compared to traditional stimulation patterns from the perspective of muscular fatigue and kinematic performance produced. Three stimulation waveforms/envelopes: customized rectangular, trapezoidal, and muscle syne...

Motor imagery brain –computer interface rehabilitation system enhances upper limb performance and improves brain activity in stroke patients: A clinical study
This study compared the efficacy of Motor Imagery brain-computer interface (MI-BCI) combined with physiotherapy and physiotherapy alone in ischemic stroke before and after rehabilitation training. We wanted to explore whether the rehabilitation effect of MI-BCI is affected by the severity of the patient’s condition and whether MI-BCI was effective for all patients. Forty hospitalized patients with ischemic stroke with motor deficits participated in this study. The patients were divided into MI and control groups. Functional assessments were performed before and after rehabilitation training. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FM...

A brief review of motor imagery and bimanual coordination
Motor imagery is increasingly being used in clinical settings, such as in neurorehabilitation and brain computer interface (BCI). In stroke, patients lose upper limb function and must re-learn bimanual coordination skills necessary for the activities of daily living. Physiotherapists integrate motor imagery with physical rehabilitation to accelerate recovery. In BCIs, users are often asked to imagine a movement, often with sparse instructions. The EEG pattern that coincides with this cognitive task is captured, then used to execute an external command, such as operating a neuroprosthetic device. As such, BCIs are dependent...

Effects of Combining Online Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Gait Training in Stroke Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: Our findings suggested that simultaneous interventions may effectively improve walking ability. However, we cannot draw definitive conclusions because of the small sample size. More high-quality studies are needed on the effects of online stimulation, including various stimulation parameters.

“Sequential multimodality stimulation” for post-stroke-hemineglect: Feasibility and outcome in a pilot randomized controlled trial
ConclusionMultimodality stimulation, in addition to standard physiotherapy, is feasible and potentially results in better neurocognitive and functional recovery following right hemispheric ischemic strokes. However, larger studies are warranted to prove these preliminary observations beyond doubt.

Camera-Based Mirror Visual Feedback: Potential to Improve Motor Preparation in Stroke Patients
Mirror visual feedback (MVF) is used widely for motor recovery after stroke, but an optimal training setup and systematic procedure are lacking. New optimization strategies have been proposed, one of which is a camera technique. We investigated the effects of a camera-based MVF setup on motor function and motor processes upstream for upper-limb rehabilitation. Seventy-nine stroke patients were assigned randomly to the MVF group (MG; ${N} = {38}$ ) or conventional group (CG; ${N} = {41}$ ), which, respectively, received camera-based MVF and dosage-equivalent physiotherapy or/and occupational therapy for 1 h/day and five day...

Rhythmic Extended Kalman Filter for Gait Rehabilitation Motion Estimation and Segmentation
This paper proposes a method to enable the use of non-intrusive, small, wearable, and wireless sensors to estimate the pose of the lower body during gait and other periodic motions and to extract objective performance measures useful for physiotherapy. The Rhythmic Extended Kalman Filter (Rhythmic-EKF) algorithm is developed to estimate the pose, learn an individualized model of periodic movement over time, and use the learned model to improve pose estimation. The proposed approach learns a canonical dynamical system model of the movement during online observation, which is used to accurately model the acceleration during ...

What does best evidence tell us about robotic gait rehabilitation in stroke patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions The evaluation of the results confirm that the use of robotics can positively affect the outcome of a gait rehabilitation in patients with stroke. The effects of different devices seems to be similar on the most commonly outcome evaluated by this review.

A Low-Cost Adaptive Balance Training Platform for Stroke Patients: A Usability Study
Stroke patients usually suffer from asymmetric posture due to hemi-paresis that can result in reduced postural controllability leading to a balance deficit. This deficit increases the risk of falls, which often makes them dependent on caregivers for community ambulation, thus deteriorating their quality of life. Conventional balance training involves rehabilitation exercises performed under physiotherapist’s supervision, where the scarcity of trained professionals as well as the cost of clinic-based rehabilitation programs can deter stroke survivors from undergoing regular balance training. Thus, researchers have be...

Reinforcement learning of self-regulated sensorimotor β-oscillations improves motor performance
Publication date: 1 July 2016 Source:NeuroImage, Volume 134 Author(s): G. Naros, I. Naros, F. Grimm, U. Ziemann, A. Gharabaghi Self-regulation of sensorimotor oscillations is currently researched in neurorehabilitation, e.g. for priming subsequent physiotherapy in stroke patients, and may be modulated by neurofeedback or transcranial brain stimulation. It has still to be demonstrated, however, whether and under which training conditions such brain self-regulation could also result in motor gains. Thirty-two right-handed, healthy subjects participated in a three-day intervention during which they performed 462 trials...
