Functional MRI Assessment of Brain Activity During Hand Rehabilitation with an MR-Compatible Soft Glove in Chronic Stroke Patients: A Preliminary Study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Brain plasticity plays a significant role in functional recovery after stroke, but the specific benefits of hand rehabilitation robot therapy remain unclear. Evaluating the specific effects of hand rehabilitation robot therapy is crucial in understan...

The structural connectome and motor recovery after stroke: predicting natural recovery.

Brain : a journal of neurology
Stroke patients vary considerably in terms of outcomes: some patients present 'natural' recovery proportional to their initial impairment (fitters), while others do not (non-fitters). Thus, a key challenge in stroke rehabilitation is to identify indi...

A brain-computer interface that evokes tactile sensations improves robotic arm control.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Prosthetic arms controlled by a brain-computer interface can enable people with tetraplegia to perform functional movements. However, vision provides limited feedback because information about grasping objects is best relayed through tactile feedback...

Robot-assisted gait training promotes brain reorganization after stroke: A randomized controlled pilot study.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) can improve walking ability after stroke but the underlying mechanisms are unknown.

Superior arm-movement decoding from cortex with a new, unsupervised-learning algorithm.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this work is to improve the state of the art for motor-control with a brain-machine interface (BMI). BMIs use neurological recording devices and decoding algorithms to transform brain activity directly into real-time control of ...

Augmenting intracortical brain-machine interface with neurally driven error detectors.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Making mistakes is inevitable, but identifying them allows us to correct or adapt our behavior to improve future performance. Current brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) make errors that need to be explicitly corrected by the user, thereby con...

Preservation of hand movement representation in the sensorimotor areas of amputees.

Brain : a journal of neurology
Denervation due to amputation is known to induce cortical reorganization in the sensorimotor cortex. Although there is evidence that reorganization does not lead to a complete loss of the representation of the phantom limb, it is unclear to what exte...

tDCS does not enhance the effects of robot-assisted gait training in patients with subacute stroke.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, which can modulate cortical excitability and combined with rehabilitation therapies may improve motor recovery after stroke.
