Robotically Augmented Mental Practice

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Stroke

In brief

This project will develop and test a new paradigm of motor imagery for facilitating neuromotor excitability and performance of distal muscles in the upper limb by adopting a robotic prosthesis and integrating proven procedures for neuromotor facilitation. The scientific purpose of the study is to understand the effect of controlling a detached robotic prosthesis with proximal muscle activation on brain excitability of the resting arm muscles as well as reaction time. The efficacy of this task will be understood by comparing with other task conditions (motor imagery only, 2D visual feedback on a monitor, etc.) that do not involve the robotic prosthesis. The test of the developed system will be performed in healthy able-bodied adults. The feasibility of the system will be examined in post-stroke adults.
