Brain-computer interface technology for upper limb rehabilitation after stroke: a translational effort

Evidence suggests that sensorimotor Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems can be beneficial for post-stroke motor recovery. Following a successful Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) a translational effort was made at our institution, Fondazione Santa Lucia (Rome, Italy), with the implementation of the Promotœr, an EEG-based BCI training station which is currently employed to support upper limb motor imagery training in add on to standard therapy. The Promotɶr represents a successful story of

An All-in-One BCI-Supported Motor Imagery Training Station: Validation in a Real Clinical Setting with Chronic Stroke Patients

Sensorimotor Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems can be beneficial for post-stroke motor recovery. A successful trial on subacute stroke patients carried out at Fondazione Santa Lucia demonstrated clinical and neurophysiological benefits derived from BCI-supported motor imagery (MI) training of the upper limb. A further translational effort led to the implementation of the Promotœr, an all-in-one BCI-supported MI training station dedicated to patients with upper limb motor impairment due to central nervous system injury of different etiology.
