Non-invasive Cerebellar Stimulation: a Promising Approach for Stroke Recovery?

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) combined with behavioral training is a promising strategy to augment recovery after stroke. Current research efforts have been mainly focusing on primary motor cortex (M1) stimulation. However, the translation from pro ...

Robot-assisted gait training improves motor performances and modifies Motor Unit firing in post-stroke patients

Silvestro Micera

Background. Robotics and related technologies are realizing their promise to improve the delivery of rehabilitation therapy but the mechanism by which they enhance recovery is still unknown. The electromechanical-driven gait orthosis Lokomat has demonstrat ...

Classification of stance and swing gait states during treadmill walking from non-invasive scalp electroencephalographic (EEG) signals

Pierre-André Farine, Sara Grassi Pauletti

In Contreras-Vidal and colleagues have shown the feasibility of inferring the linear and angular kinematics of treadmill walking from scalp EEG. Here, we apply a discrete approach to the same problem of decoding the human gait. By reducing the gait process ...
