Rehabilitation potential of post-stroke patients training for kinesthetic movement imagination: Motor and cognitive aspects

Аннотация

The rehabilitation potential of post-stroke patients was evaluated after a rehabilitation procedure using a hand exoskeleton controlled via a brain–computer interface (BCI). Examples are given for parameters describing the motor and cognitive functions and the capacity for kinesthetic movement imagination. It is emphasized that instrumental quantitative methods are important to use for adequate assessment of both the rehabilitation potential and the effectiveness of the BCI + exoskeleton procedure.
