Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a simple and easy to use tool that can extract relevant attention-related markers - Brain Engagement Index (BEI) from ongoing EEG. During standard rehabilitative physical therapy sessions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This research aims at assessing and fine tuning the effectiveness of a unique tool for online guidance of neural rehabilitation. The tool monitors patient attention level and guides the therapist online regarding the effectiveness of the current exercise employed. It is well established that maintaining a high level of attention plays a major role in the clinical outcome in rehabilitation. The monitoring is achieved using a cheap and simple to use EEG system and a breakthrough signal processing algorithm. The feedback provides the caregiver and patient with online information regarding the effectiveness of attention recruited during a given exercise. Furthermore, the investigators are developing and fine-tuning a set of guidelines to attain optimal attention levels. These guide lines include : Choosing an appropriate goal/movement for each patient; Regulating the optimal degree of effort by changing the difficulty level of the exercise, changing the exercise or suggesting a short rest period; Integrating supportive exercises such as stretches, strengthening of stabilizers normalization of muscle tone, sensory stimulation etc. which may enhance the performance of the target goal/movement; Motivating patients to exert more effort; And taking advantage of the quality control aspect of the BEI index in-order to augment attention of both therapist and patient.

Standard physical therapy treatment with feedback

Standard physical therapy rehabilitation is administered to stroke patients. Attention level of the patient gathered with an EEG tool is measured, and provided to both therapist and patient on-line during one of the two treatments.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Rehabilitation treatment

Intervention Type OTHER

Standard physical therapy treatment without feedback

Standard physical therapy rehabilitation is administered to stroke patients. Attention level of the patient gathered with an EEG tool is measured but feedback is not provided.
