%X Brain machine interfaces (BMIs) have previously been utilized to control rehabilitation robots with promising results. The design and development of more dexterous and user-friendly rehabilitation platforms is the next challenge to be tackled. We built a novel platform that uses an electro-encephalograpy-based BMI to control a multi-degree of freedom exoskeleton in a rehabilitation framework. Its applicability to a clinical scenario is validated here with six healthy subjects and a chronic stroke patient using motor imagery and movements attempts. Therefore, this study presents a potential system to carry out fully-featured motor rehabilitation therapies.
