BCI-Based Neuro-Rehabilitation Treatment for Parkinson’s Disease: Cases Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is characterized by motor and cognitive decay, coupled to an alteration of brain oscillatory patterns. In this study a novel neuro-rehabilitation tool, based on the application of motor imagery into a Brain Computer Interface system, is presented with some preliminary data. Three patients were evaluated (with motor, neuropsychological and EEG testing) before and after a neuro-rehabilitation protocol made by 15 experimental sessions. Patients showed a decrease of freezing of gait severity, an improvement in alpha and beta EEG bands power, and a better performance on some attention and executive tasks.

Abstract—Current rehabilitation therapies for stroke rely on Physical Practice (PP) by the patients. Motor Imagery (MI), the imagination of movements without physical action, presents an alternate neuro-rehabilitation for stroke patients without relying
Current rehabilitation therapies for stroke rely on Physical Practice (PP) by the patients. Motor Imagery (MI), the imagination of movements without physical action, presents an alternate neuro-rehabilitation for stroke patients without relying on residue movements. However, MI is an endogenous mental process that is not physically observable. Recently, advances in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI...
متن کاملRehabilitation in Parkinson's disease - the challenge to provide early and ongoing, evidence-based, patient-centred care.
Parkinson’s disease is a complex, progressive, multi-system disease associated with motor, cognitive and emotional impairments. On the basis of a review of evidencebased Parkinson’s disease guidelines and systematic reviews of non-pharmacological and non-surgical treatments, Domingos and colleagues1 offer a timely opinion statement providing physicians with guidelines promoting referral of peop...
متن کاملMovement-related cortical potentials in paraplegic patients: abnormal patterns and considerations for BCI-rehabilitation
Non-invasive EEG-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) can be promising for the motor neuro-rehabilitation of paraplegic patients. However, this shall require detailed knowledge of the abnormalities in the EEG signatures of paraplegic patients. The association of abnormalities in different subgroups of patients and their relation to the sensorimotor integration are relevant for the design, impl...
متن کاملNEuro COgnitive REhabilitation for Disease of Addiction (NECOREDA) Program: From Development to Trial
Despite extensive evidence for cognitive deficits associated with drug use and multiple publications supporting the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation treatment (CRT) services for drug addictions, there are a few well-structured tools and organized programs to improve cognitive abilities in substance users. Most published studies on cognitive rehabilitation for drug dependent patients use...
متن کاملOnline Covariate Shift Detection based Adaptive Brain-Computer Interface to Trigger Hand Exoskeleton Feedback for Neuro-Rehabilitation
A major issue in electroencephalogram (EEG) based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) is the intrinsic nonstationarities in the brain waves, which may degrade the performance of the classifier, while transitioning from calibration to feedback generation phase. The non-stationary nature of the EEG data may cause its input probability distribution to vary over time, which often appear as a covariate...
