Effects of high-definition tDCS targeting individual motor hotspot with EMG-driven robotic hand training on upper extremity motor function: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Delivering HD-tDCS on individual motor hotspot with optimal electric fields could overcome challenges of stroke heterogeneity, potentially facilitating neural activation and improving motor function for stroke survivors. However, the inte...

Decoding Multi-Class Motor Imagery From Unilateral Limbs Using EEG Signals.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The EEG is a widely utilized neural signal source, particularly in motor imagery-based brain-computer interface (MI-BCI), offering distinct advantages in applications like stroke rehabilitation. Current research predominantly concentrates on the bila...

A Novel Bilateral Underactuated Upper Limb Exoskeleton for Post-Stroke Bimanual ADL Training.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper introduces a lightweight bilateral underactuated upper limb exoskeleton (UULE) designed to assist chronic stroke patients with distal joint (Elbow-Wrist) impairments during bimanual activities of daily living (ADL). The UULE aims to assist...

Restoration of grasping in an upper limb amputee using the myokinetic prosthesis with implanted magnets.

Science robotics
The loss of a hand disrupts the sophisticated neural pathways between the brain and the hand, severely affecting the level of independence of the patient and the ability to carry out daily work and social activities. Recent years have witnessed a rap...

Enhancing Upper Limb Function and Motor Skills Post-Stroke Through an Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robot.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Cerebrovascular accidents, commonly known as strokes, represent a prevalent neurological event leading to significant upper limb disabilities, thereby profoundly affecting individuals' activities of daily living and diminishing their quality of life....

Development and External Validation of a Motor Intention-Integrated Prediction Model for Upper Extremity Motor Recovery After Intention-Driven Robotic Hand Training for Chronic Stroke.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To derive and validate a prediction model for minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) in upper extremity (UE) motor function after intention-driven robotic hand training using residual voluntary electromyography (EMG) signals from...

Assessment of inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the Luna EMG robot as a tool for assessing upper limb proprioception in patients with stroke-a prospective observational study.

PeerJ
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to assess the inter-rater and intra-rater agreement of measurements performed with the Luna EMG (electromyography) multifunctional robot, a tool for evaluation of upper limb proprioception in individuals with stro...

Robotic assessment of bilateral and unilateral upper limb functions in adults with cerebral palsy.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) exhibit motor impairments predominantly on one side of the body, while also having ipsilesional and bilateral impairments. These impairments are known to persist through adulthood, but their ex...

Assessing the Effect of Cervical Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation With an Upper Limb Robotic Exoskeleton and Surface Electromyography.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS) is a promising rehabilitative intervention to restore motor function and coordination for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The effects of TSS are most commonly assessed by evaluating muscle response t...

Human-robot interaction in motor imagery: A system based on the STFCN for unilateral upper limb rehabilitation assistance.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation training based on the brain-computer interface of motor imagery (MI-BCI) can help restore the connection between the brain and movement. However, the performance of most popular MI-BCI system is coarse-level, which means th...
