Restoration of Upper Limb Function After Chronic Severe Hemiplegia: A Case Report on the Feasibility of a Brain-Computer Interface-Triggered Functional Electrical Stimulation Therapy
Abstract
Functional electrical stimulation therapy (FEST) is a state-of-the-art treatment for retraining motor function after neurological injuries. Recent literature suggests that FEST can be further improved with brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. In this case study, we assessed the feasibility of using BCI-triggered FEST (BCI-FEST) to restore upper limb function in a 57-yr-old man with severe left hemiplegia resulting from a stroke 6 yrs before enrollment in the study. The intervention consisted of two blocks of forty 1-hr BCI-FEST sessions, with three sessions delivered weekly. During therapy, a single-channel BCI was used to trigger the stimulation programmed to facilitate functional movements. The measure of the feasibility of the BCI-FEST included assessing the implementation and safety of the intervention. Clinical improvements were assessed using (a) Functional Independence Measure, (b) Action Research Arm Test, (c) Toronto Rehabilitation Institute – Hand Function Test, and (d) Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity test. Upon completion of 80 therapy sessions, 14-, 17-, and 18-point changes were recorded on Action Research Arm Test, Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity test, and Toronto Rehabilitation Institute – Hand Function Test, respectively. The participant also indicated improvement as demonstrated by his ability to perform various day-to-day tasks. The results suggest that BCI-FEST is safe and viable.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
