High-intensity occupational therapy can improve arm function after stroke, but many people lack access to such therapy. Home-based therapies could address this need, but they don’t typically address abnormal muscle co-activation, an important aspect of arm impairment. An earlier study using lab-based, myoelectric computer interface game training enabled chronic stroke survivors to reduce abnormal co-activation and improve arm function. Here, we assess feasibility of doing this training at home using a novel, wearable, myoelectric interface for neurorehabilitation training (MINT) paradigm.

可穿戴肌电接口可对严重受损的慢性中风幸存者进行高剂量的家庭培训

高强度职业治疗可以改善中风后的手臂功能，但许多人无法获得这种治疗。以家庭为基础的疗法可以解决这一需求，但它们通常不能解决异常的肌肉共激活问题，这是手臂损伤的一个重要方面。使用基于实验室的肌电计算机界面游戏训练的早期研究使慢性中风幸存者能够减少异常共同激活并改善手臂功能。在这里，我们评估了在家中使用新型可穿戴肌电接口进行神经康复训练 (MINT) 范式的可行性。
