“…i) Fugl-Meyer Motor Function of Upper Extremity Scale (FMA-UE): this is a stroke-specific performance-based impairment index that has been extensively tested, revealing to have excellent properties [26]. It is designed to assess motor functioning, sensation, and joint functioning and determine disease severity, describe motor recovery, and plan and assess treatment [27].…”

Objective: To investigate the effects of motor imagery-based brain-computer interface training (MI-BCI) on upper limb function and attention in stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods: Stroke patients with impairment of upper extremity function and decreased attention were randomly assigned to the conventional rehabilitation group or the BCI group (1:1 ratio). BCI group performed 20 minutes of MI-BCI training five times a week for 3 weeks (15 sessions) in addition to conventional rehabilitation. The primary outcome measures were the changes in Fugl-Meyer Motor Function Assessment for Upper Extremities (FMA-UE) and Attention Network Test (ANT) from baseline to 3 weeks. Results: A total of 60 people participated in the study, and about 93% of the patients completed the allocated training. Compared with the conventional rehabilitation group, among those in the BCI group, FMA-UE was increased by 8.0 points (95%CI, 5.0 to 10.0; P<0.001). Alert network response time (32.4ms; 95%CI, 58.4 to 85.6; P<0.001), orienting network response (5.6ms; 95%CI, 29.8 to 55.8; P=0.010), and corrects number (8.0; 95%CI, 17.0 to 28.0; P<0.001) also increased in the BCI group compared with the conventional rehabilitation group. Additionally, the executive control network response time (-105.9ms; 95%CI, -68.3 to -23.6; P=0.002), the total average response time (-244.8ms; 95%CI, -155.8 to -66.2; P=0.002), and total time (-122.0ms; 95%CI, -80.0 to -35.0; P=0.001) were reduced in the BCI group compared with the conventional rehabilitation group. Conclusion: MI-BCI combined with conventional rehabilitation training could better enhance upper limb motor function and attention in stroke patients. This training method may be feasible and suitable for individuals with stroke. Trial registration: This study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry with Portal Number ChiCTR2100050430(27/08/2021).

“…A zero score implies non-performance, one implies partial performance, and two implies complete performance. The FMA is reported to have excellent reliability (total = 0.98–0.99; subtests = 0.87–1.00) and validity [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. It is commonly used in clinical trials conducted to assess changes in motor impairment following stroke [ 35 , 36 , 37 ].…”

Background: Combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with other therapies is reported to produce promising results in patients with stroke. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of combining tDCS with motor imagery (MI) and upper-limb functional training for upper-limb rehabilitation among patients with chronic stroke. Methods: A single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial was conducted among 64 patients with chronic stroke. The control group received sham tDCS with MI, while the experimental group received real tDCS with MI. Both groups performed five different upper-limb functional training exercises coupled with tDCS for 30 min, five times per week for two weeks. Fugl-Meyer’s scale (FMA) and the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) were used to measure the outcome measures at baseline and after the completion of the 10th session. Results: Analysis of covariance showed significant improvements in the post-test mean scores for FMA (F (414.4) = 35.79, p < 0.001; η2 = 0.37) and ARAT (F (440.09) = 37.46, p < 0.001; η2 = 0.38) in the experimental group compared to the control group while controlling for baseline scores. Conclusions: Anodal tDCS stimulation over the affected primary motor cortex coupled with MI and upper-limb functional training reduces impairment and disability of the upper limbs among patients with chronic stroke.
