Effect of brain-computer interface training on functional recovery after stroke

Abstract

As the aging population continues to grow, the incidence of stroke is increasing yearly. Patients with stroke often have residual motor dysfunction symptoms, which seriously affects their life and work. The traditional treatment methods have limited applicability and efficacy, making it difficult for patients to control their muscles voluntarily and achieve cortical-muscle coupling. Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology can enable patients with severely impaired motor function to control external devices through brain-controlled movements, thus promoting the efficiency of motor rehabilitation training and becoming a hot research topic. This article systematically summarizes the basic technology of BCI, its application in stroke rehabilitation, and future development trends.
