BCI With Virtual Reality for Stroke Rehabilitation: A Crossover Study
Conditions: Stroke
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 80 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 12
Sponsor: Technical University of Lisbon
Location: Centro de Medicina de Reabilitação de Alcoitão Alcabideche Lisbon District
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if training sessions of motor imagery associated with brain-computer interface and motor observation through virtual reality (MI-VR-BCI) can help to improve arm and hand recovery after a stroke. The main questions to answer are:
* Can adding MI-BCI-VR sessions improve upper limb movement?
* Can it help stroke survivors perform daily activities more easily?
* Does this type of training improve brain activity and connections related to movement?
Researchers will compare this type of intervention with motor imagery associated with a standard brain-computer interface intervention (MI-BCI) to see if there are added effects to upper limb function, activity and brain connections.
Participants will :
* Perform two intervention periods in a random order: one with MI-VR-BCI training sessions and other with MI-BCI training sessions. Each period will involve 3 weekly sessions of training, during 6 weeks, with the intervention periods being separated by 3 weeks.
* Complete four assessment sessions: one at the beginning and another at the end of each intervention period.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Clinical diagnosis of stroke confirmed by neuroimaging, with resulting upper limb hemiparesis.
* Time since stroke between 6 and 24 months at the time of selection.
* Sufficient cognitive ability to understand and follow the intervention procedures.
* Spasticity score \
