Mit akar kideríteni a vizsgálat

The study will investigate the use of motor intention-based cortical signals to trigger epidural spinal cord stimulation (ESCS) with individuals with SCI. Motor intention of UL tasks will be decoded using brain-computer interface (BCI) system based on cortical signals recorded using an Electroencephalographic (EEG) system or using their intracranially implanted devices Electrocorticographic (ECoG).

A vizsgálat csoportja

• Brain Computer Interface-Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation (BCI-ESCS)A vizsgált kezelés

  Participants in this group will receive a onetime surgery to have the leads implanted temporarily for ESCS which will be triggered through the BCI system. The BCI-ESCS arms will include Upper limb (UL) therapist-guided training, with triggered through a BCI system during task practice. The BCI system will decode motor intention of Upper limb (UL) tasks from cortical signals recorded using EEG system or using their intracranially implanted devices (e.g., ECoG). Participants will perform UL daily activities (e.g., grasping, reaching) tailored to participants deficits. The therapist will facilitate task practice and progress therapy within and between session. Subjects will be involved in the intervention for up to 2 months.
