In the researchers' words
The purpose of this study is: 1. To augment the MAHI Exo-II, a physical human exoskeleton, with a non-invasive brain machine interface (BMI) to actively include patient in the control loop and thereby making the therapy 'active'. 2. To determine appropriate robotic (kinematic data acquired through sensors on robotic device ) and electrophysiological ( electroencephalography- EEG based) measures of arm motor impairment and recovery after stroke. 3. To demonstrate that the BMI controlled MAHI Exo-II robotic arm training is feasible and effective in improving arm motor functions in sub-acute and chronic stroke population.
