Short term priming effect of brain-actuated muscle stimulation using bimanual movements in stroke

Editorial: Neurotechnologies and brain-computer interaction for neurorehabilitation

“…The authors suggest that multisensory motor priming prior to MI-BCI could improve detection efficacy. This is in line with prior research concerning the impact of VR as a way to passively prime the motor system preceding MI training (Vourvopoulos and Bermúdez i Badia, 2016 ), or actively through the use of FES (Kumari et al, 2022 ), or transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) (Chew et al, 2020 ). With regard to rehabilitation, Marin-Pardo et al explore telerehabilitation with gamified VR tasks as a means for providing higher doses of repeated task-specific practice to restore upper limb function in chronic stroke patients.…”

Modern Rehabilitation Technologies of Patients with Motor Disorders at an Early Rehabilitation of Stroke (Review)

“…At the first stage of using BCI to form a mental motor image, there is the activation of motor areas in brain, and it is received by a BCI detector. At next stage, there occurs the virtual avatar motion, or the simulation of the imaginary motion of the proper extremity is launched by means of exoskeleton or functional electrostimulation [ 94 , 96 – 100 ]. Thus, when using BCI a patient has visual contact or proprioceptive feedback resulting in closing the reflex arch of a classical motor action realized due to proper safe efferent and afferent paths [ 97 , 98 ].…”
