Item Chronic stroke recovery after combined BCI training and physiotherapy: A case report(2011-04) Caria, Andrea; Weber, Cornelia; Brötz, Doris; Ramos, Ander; Ticini, Luca F.; Gharabaghi, Alireza; Braun, Christoph; Birbaumer, Niels; Medical TechnologiesA case of partial recovery after stroke and its associated brain reorganization in a chronic patient after combined brain computer interface (BCI) training and physiotherapy is presented. A multimodal neuroimaging approach based on fMRI and diffusion tensor imaging was used to investigate plasticity of the brain motor system in parallel with longitudinal clinical assessments. A convergent association between functional and structural data in the ipsilesional premotor areas was observed. As a proof of concept investigation, these results encourage further research on a specific role of BCI on brain plasticity and recovery after stroke.
