BACKGROUND: Post-stroke hemiplegia of the upper extremities continues to pose a significant therapeutic hurdle. Contralesional uncrossed corticospinal pathways (CST) are involved in the recovery processes.
METHODS: We test the safety, and preliminary efficacy of targeted upregulation of uncrossed CST excitability through self-modulation of cortical activities via noninvasive brain-machine interaction training (Registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network: UMIN000017525). In this single-arm prospective trial, eight individuals with persistent severe post-stroke motor disability voluntarily actuated their affected shoulder using a brain-computer interface (BCI) bridging the contralesional motor cortex (M1) and an exoskeleton robot. While patients attempted to elevate the affected arm, scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) signals over the contralesional M1 were processed online to provide them with feedback on M1 excitability.
RESULTS: Here we show that the BCI reconstructs neural pathways, allowing arm elevation without any adverse effects. As evidenced by an increase in primary outcome measure (Fugl- Meyer Assessment, p < 0.05, d = 1.24), seven days of consecutive system use results in rapid, sustained, and clinically significant improvement in motor function when removed from the system and promotes contralesional M1 functional remodeling.
CONCLUSIONS: This closed-loop system is safe, feasible, and a promising intervention that recruits intact neural resources to allow patients to recover upper-extremity motor abilities.
