Effect of Active Assistive Neurofeedback Therapy on Motor Recovery from Stroke Patients
- Conditions
- Diseases of the nervous system
- Registration Number
- KCT0003350
- Lead Sponsor
- Yonsei University
- Brief Summary
We found that the EMG activity and upper extremity FMA score were significantly increased in patients of the experimental than in those of the control group. In addition, there was a significant increase in brain activity of the affected (contralateral) sensorimotor area (SMA) in the experimental, but not in the control group. Spasticity, on the other hand, was significantly decreased in the experimental, but not in the control group.
