Overview

Brief Summary

This study investigates whether spinal cord injury and stroke survivors (n=10) are able to operate a brain/neural hand exoskeleton (B/NHE) based on electroencephalography (EEG) and electrooculography (EOG) for restoration of bimanual activities of daily living (ADLs). To assess bimanual ADLs, the Berlin Bimanual Task Assessment (BEBITA) will be applied. Improvements in BEBITA will be evaluated with and without B/NHE use.

Primary Outcomes

Change in Berlin Bimanual Task Assessment (BEBITA) score

Time Frame: Hand function will be assessed twice on the same day. Once before the hand exoskeleton is applied (absence of the assistive device) and once after the brain-controlled hand exoskeleton was attached to the patients' hand and arm.
