Moregrasp: Restoration of Upper Limb Function in Individuals with High Spinal Cord Injury by Multimodal Neuroprostheses for Interaction in Daily Activities
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of the MoreGrasp project is to develop a noninvasive, multimodal user interface including a braincomputer interface (BCI) for intuitive control of a grasp neuroprosthesis to support individuals with high spinal cord injury (SCI) in everyday activities. We describe the current state of the project, including the EEG system, preliminary results of natural movements decoding in people with SCI, the new electrode concept for the grasp neuroprosthesis, the shared control architecture behind the system and the implementation of a usercentered design.

متن کاملThe effect of task-based mirror therapy on upper limb functions and activities of daily living in patients with chronic cerebrovascular accident: A randomized control trial
Background and Objective: Cerebro-Vascular Accident (CVA) is considered to be one of the main causes of acquired motor disability in adults. Different motor rehabilitation programs are being designed in order to improve motor difficulties of patients with CVA. In the current study we aimed to assess the effect of task-based mirror therapy on upper limb functions and activities of daily living i...
متن کاملSystemic Effects of Experimental Spinal Cord Injury on Bone Healing in Rabbit
Bone loss after spinal cord injury leads to increased fragility of bone and subsequent risk for low-trauma fractures in the sublesional parts of the body. Although in such injuries upper limbs are normally innervated, bone loss may occur in the upper extremities. The present study was designed to determine the systemic effects of spinal cord injury on the fracture healing of upper limbs in rabb...
متن کاملFunctional Electrical Stimulation Therapy for Grasping in Spinal Cord Injury: An Overview
Upper limb rehabilitation strategies for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) have evolved greatly over the last few decades. Amongst these strategies, functional electrical stimulation (FES) approaches have been widely recognized as the most promising. To date, 2 FES-based approaches for improving upper limb function in individuals with SCI have emerged. One approach proposes the use of F...

Objectives: Wheelchairs are the prime mobility aid of persons with spinal cord injuries. Manual wheelchair propulsion puts a lot of demand on the cardiopulmonary as well as the skeletal system. The main purpose of the study was to compare the effects of both arm ergometry training and progressive resistance exercise training of upper limbs on resting heart rate and distance covered during wheel...
