Advancing Upper Limb Stroke Rehab & Assistive Technology
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
This clinical project aims to improve motor control of the affected arm in individuals who have suffered a stroke by combining non-invasive multifocal brain stimulation with the innovative use of a touchscreen tablet for motor learning. Currently, many post-stroke patients face difficulties with motor control, which limits their independence and quality of life. Conventional rehabilitation approaches have shown their limitations, highlighting the need for innovation. By using multifocal brain stimulation and an interactive interface via a touchscreen tablet, this project aims to optimize motor learning and enhance motor recovery in these patients. By evaluating the effectiveness of this approach, we aim to provide new perspectives for post-stroke rehabilitation and improve the quality of life for patients.
