STUDY PURPOSE The investigators are testing a new rehabilitation system that helps stroke patients recover their ability to walk and think more clearly. This system, called brain-computer interface with plantar pneumorthoses, uses brain signals to control a special device that provides gentle pressure to the feet, similar to what you feel when walking. The goal is to help patients regain walking skills, improve memory and thinking, and feel better emotionally.Read full original descriptionShow less
Clinical Evaluation of a Brain-computer Interface Integrated With Plantar Pneumoorthoses for Motor and Cognitive Rehabilitation in Stroke Survivors
STUDY PURPOSE The investigators are testing a new rehabilitation system that helps stroke patients recover their ability to walk and think more clearly. This system, called brain-computer interface with plantar pneumorthoses, uses brain signals to control a special device that provides gentle pressure to the feet, similar to what you feel when walking. The goal is to help patients regain walking skills, improve memory and thinking, and feel better emotionally.
STUDY QUESTIONS
The main questions the study aims to answer are:
Whether the investigated technology can improve walking in post-stroke patients? Whether the training to control the technology can improve cognitive function in post-stroke patients?
HOW THE STUDY WORKS The investigators compare two groups - one using the new system, another group receiving standard rehabilitation therapy.
Up to 15 patients will try the new system: 10 sessions, each lasting 12 minutes (about 2 weeks, Monday-Friday).
WHAT HAPPENS DURING TREATMENT?
The equipment includes:
Brain monitoring device: Safe infrared light sensors placed on the patient's head (like a cap) Computer software: Reads brain signals when the patient thinks about walking Foot device: Special pneumatic shoes that provide gentle pressure to the patient's feet Screen: Shows visual feedback during training.
What the patient will do:
Sit comfortably in a chair with special shoes on their feet, Complete the task: imagine walking or relax when instructed, What the patient will experience: They will see colors change on the screen and feel gentle pressure on their feet.
Inclusion: Age 18-80 years; Primary or recurrent supratentorial ischemic stroke; Stroke onset 7 days to 24 months; Moderate to mild post-stroke lower limb motor impairments; Clinical stability; Voluntary participation and signing of informed consent.
Exclusion: Severe cognitive impairments preventing instruction compliance; Sensory or severe motor aphasia; Severe visual impairments; Lower limb contractures; Inability to maintain sitting position.
