NCT00955838

Brief Summary

The trial aims to test a novel rehabilitation device for subacute stroke hemiplegic upper limbs based on state-of-the-art non invasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) robotic rehabilitation in a clinical setting. The investigators aim to prove the clinical efficacy and safety of BCI therapy over traditional rehabilitation methods.

Eligibility Criteria

Age21 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Demographics: 21 to 65 years, within 12 months of first, single clinical stroke (ischaemic or haemorrhagic).
  • Moderate to severe upper extremity (UE) weakness post stroke.
  • Fugly-Meyer motor score of the upper limb \< 40.
  • Upper limb motor power MRC grade 3 or less /5 in at least 1 arm region.
  • Able to give own consent and understand simple instructions and learn through practice.
  • Resting brain states determined by FMRI criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Recurrent stroke.
  • Previous brain surgery.
  • Spasticity of Modified Ashworth scale \> 2.
  • Fixed contracture of any upper limb joint
  • Ataxia, dystonia or tremor of the involved upper limb or previous cervical myelopathy
  • Upper limb pain or painful joints in upper limb.
  • Severe cognitive impairment (Abbreviated Mental Test \<7/10), or severe aphasia which may affect ability to participate in training.
  • History of seizures in the past 12 months.
  • Severe left neglect
