China Rehabilitation Research Center Reports Motor Score Rise From 20 to 56 After Eight Months in One Stroke Case

A patient with a large-area stroke showed improvements in cognition, language, movement, and daily living after an 8-month, dynamically adjusted rehabilitation program. The 38-year-old man had right hemiplegia and global aphasia following a large left hemispheric infarction, with limited response to conventional rehabilitation. Guided by periodic assessments, a multidisciplinary team combined conventional therapy with staged magnetic stimulation, BCI-robotic training, task-oriented virtual reality, and gait correction. His FMA motor score increased from 20 to 56, and his MBI daily living score rose from 40 to 91. This single case documents recovery occurring alongside intervention; it does not establish an independent benefit from BCI or any other component.

Feasibility of a Hybrid SSVEP-Motor Imagery BCI with Robotic Feedback for Stroke Upper Limb Rehabilitation

Researchers assessed the feasibility of a hybrid brain-computer interface that integrates motor imagery (MI) and steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) with robotic glove feedback for upper limb motor rehabilitation in 32 stroke patients, split into a conventional-treatment control group and an experimental group receiving 10- or 20-day BCI interventions. The experimental group showed considerable improvement in Fugl-Meyer scores over the control group, and the BCI achieved EEG classification accuracy up to 98.08% with stable operation; after longer training, accuracy rose, the laterality coefficient moved toward normal, and task-related brain connectivity strengthened. The authors say the hybrid system may overcome the limits of conventional therapy and single-modality BCIs.
