- Original description
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the main causes of disability. Among post-stroke individuals, 80% experience upper limb dysfunction, while only 5% to 20% of individuals regain full limb and hand function. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of hand rehabilitation of post-stroke individuals using HEG Neurofeedback The study will include 30 participants in the early sub-acute phase post-stroke, who will be assigned to either the study group or the control group. Participants in the experimental group will follow a rehabilitation program extended with HEG Neurofeedback training, while participants in the control group will follow the standard rehabilitation program.Read full original descriptionShow less
Hand Rehabilitation in People With Hemiparesis After a Stroke Using 3D Imaging With fNIRS Neurofeedback
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the main causes of disability. Among post-stroke individuals, 80% experience upper limb dysfunction, while only 5% to 20% of individuals regain full limb and hand function. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of hand rehabilitation of post-stroke individuals using HEG Neurofeedback The study will include 30 participants in the early sub-acute phase post-stroke, who will be assigned to either the study group or the control group. Participants in the experimental group will follow a rehabilitation program extended with HEG Neurofeedback training, while participants in the control group will follow the standard rehabilitation program.
The HEG Neurofeedback therapy equipment will be supplemented with new hand therapy software. During the exercises, patients will focus on a discussed and presented task, and once the expected level of concentration is reached, the software will trigger a virtual hand performing a finger flexion movement.
Motor control of the hand will be assessed using the Fugl-Meyer Scale and Brunnström recovery stages.
Inclusion: individuals with hemiparesis after a first ischemic stroke,; subacute stroke period (no longer than 3 months),; upper limb paresis rated 2-4 by Brunnstrom recovery stages,; participants aged 18 to 70 years,; consent to participate in the study.
Exclusion: unstable general condition,; visual field disorders,; cognitive impairment (Mini-Mental State Examination, MMSE > 24); inability to sit independently,.
