Old-school physical therapy is excellent but combined with new technologies such as Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) the outcomes can be even more astounding. But you may ask: what kind of strokes reap the benefit from BCI-based rehabilitation?
- Strengthening the brain's inherent plasticity
- Ischemic stroke patients see strong results
- Hemorrhagic stroke patients may benefit too
Strengthening the brain's inherent plasticity
BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) rehabilitation employs technology that detects brain signals typically through EEG and converts them into instructions to assist in retraining the brain. It's a bit of a brain booster or shortcut to learn to move an arm or hand again. Rather than waiting for signals to pass along through impaired pathways, BCI Stroke Treatment assists in redirecting and strengthening new ones due to the brain's inherent plasticity.
Ischemic stroke patients see strong results
The majority of approximately 87% strokes are ischemic strokes, in which a blood clot impedes blood supply to the brain. Such patients respond well to BCI Stroke Rehabiliation, particularly those who have upper limb weakness or paralysis. Ischemic strokes usually leave behind partially functional parts of the brain, and BCIs can be used to stimulate those areas to initiate motor recovery.
Hemorrhagic stroke patients may benefit too
Even though hemorrhagic strokes (due to bleeding in the brain) are not as prevalent, BCI therapy from recoveriX is promising here too. While recovery may be slower and the bleeding does more extensive damage, the fundamentals remain the same: identify brain signals, attach them to intended movement, and teach the brain to redirect those signals. But it's a little more case-by-case with hemorrhagic stroke survivors; based on the size, location, and severity of the bleed.
