Biofeedback is a promising noninvasive strategy to enhance gait training among individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). Commonly, biofeedback systems are designed to guide movement correction using audio, visual, or sensorimotor (i.e., tactile or proprioceptive) cues, each of which has demonstrated measurable success in CP. However, it is currently unclear how the modality of biofeedback may influence

Spatial mapping of posture-dependent resistance to passive displacement of the hypertonic arm post-stroke J. Neuroeng. Rehabil. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2023-12-01 Priyanka Kanade-Mehta, Maria Bengtson, Tina Stoeckmann, John McGuire, Claude Ghez, Robert A. Scheidt
Muscles in the post-stroke arm commonly demonstrate abnormal reflexes that result in increased position- and velocity-dependent resistance to movement. We sought to develop a reliable way to quantify mechanical consequences of abnormal neuromuscular mechanisms throughout the reachable workspace in the hemiparetic arm post-stroke. Survivors of hemiparetic stroke (HS) and neurologically intact (NI) control

Mixed methods usability evaluation of an assistive wearable robotic hand orthosis for people with spinal cord injury J. Neuroeng. Rehabil. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2023-12-01 Jan Dittli, Jan T. Meyer, Jessica Gantenbein, Tobias Bützer, Raffaele Ranzani, Anita Linke, Armin Curt, Roger Gassert, Olivier Lambercy
Robotic hand orthoses (RHO) aim to provide grasp assistance for people with sensorimotor hand impairment during daily tasks. Many of such devices have been shown to bring a functional benefit to the user. However, assessing functional benefit is not sufficient to evaluate the usability of such technologies for daily life application. A comprehensive and structured evaluation of device usability not

Immersive virtual reality gameplay detects visuospatial atypicality, including unilateral spatial neglect, following brain injury: a pilot study J. Neuroeng. Rehabil. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-23 David R. Painter, Michael F. Norwood, Chelsea H. Marsh, Trevor Hine, Daniel Harvie, Marilia Libera, Julie Bernhardt, Leslie Gan, Heidi Zeeman
In neurorehabilitation, problems with visuospatial attention, including unilateral spatial neglect, are prevalent and routinely assessed by pen-and-paper tests, which are limited in accuracy and sensitivity. Immersive virtual reality (VR), which motivates a much wider (more intuitive) spatial behaviour, promises new futures for identifying visuospatial atypicality in multiple measures, which reflects

Relationship between resting-state functional connectivity and change in motor function after motor imagery intervention in patients with stroke: a scoping review J. Neuroeng. Rehabil. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-18 Kenya Tanamachi, Wataru Kuwahara, Megumi Okawada, Shun Sasaki, Fuminari Kaneko
In clinical practice, motor imagery has been proposed as a treatment modality for stroke owing to its feasibility in patients with severe motor impairment. Motor imagery-based interventions can be categorized as open- or closed-loop. Closed-loop intervention is based on voluntary motor imagery and induced peripheral sensory afferent (e.g., Brain Computer Interface (BCI)-based interventions). Meanwhile

Boosting brain–computer interfaces with functional electrical stimulation: potential applications in people with locked-in syndrome J. Neuroeng. Rehabil. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-18 Evan Canny, Mariska J. Vansteensel, Sandra M. A. van der Salm, Gernot R. Müller-Putz, Julia Berezutskaya
Individuals with a locked-in state live with severe whole-body paralysis that limits their ability to communicate with family and loved ones. Recent advances in brain–computer interface (BCI) technology have presented a potential alternative for these people to communicate by detecting neural activity associated with attempted hand or speech movements and translating the decoded intended movements

Post-stroke deficits in the anticipatory control and bimanual coordination during naturalistic cooperative bimanual action J. Neuroeng. Rehabil. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-10 Cory A. Potts, Shailesh S. Kantak
Unilateral stroke leads to asymmetric deficits in movement performance; yet its effects on naturalistic bimanual actions, a key aspect of everyday functions, are understudied. Particularly, how naturalistic bimanual actions that require the two hands to cooperatively interact with each other while manipulating a single common object are planned, executed, and coordinated after stroke is not known.
