Computer-guided mental practice in neurorehabilitation.

Abstract—Current rehabilitation therapies for stroke rely on Physical Practice (PP) by the patients. Motor Imagery (MI), the imagination of movements without physical action, presents an alternate neuro-rehabilitation for stroke patients without relying

Current rehabilitation therapies for stroke rely on Physical Practice (PP) by the patients. Motor Imagery (MI), the imagination of movements without physical action, presents an alternate neuro-rehabilitation for stroke patients without relying on residue movements. However, MI is an endogenous mental process that is not physically observable. Recently, advances in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI...

ENGAGE: Guided Activity-Based Gaming in Neurorehabilitation after Stroke: A Pilot Study

Introduction. Stroke is a leading cause of disability in healthy adults. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the feasibility and outcomes of a novel video gaming repetitive practice paradigm, (ENGAGE) enhanced neurorehabilitation: guided activity-based gaming exercise. Methods. Sixteen individuals at least three months after stroke served as participants. All participants received con...
