REINVENT: A Closed-Loop VR Neurofeedback System for Motor Recovery after Severe Stroke

ReHaB Core ⟩ NPNL Lab ⟩

Principal Investigator: Sook-Lei Liew PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA

Period
Jan 2016 – Dec 2018

Total funding
$149,446

This study will examine the preliminary effectiveness of a novel system that could provide an innovative new way for individuals with severe motor impairments after stroke, who cannot activate motor regions through volitional movement, to train and strengthen neural connections between the brain and muscles of the impaired limb in an evidence-based, motivating, portable, and affordable environment. Future work could build on these advances by modifying this system for home use to make neurorehabilitation training more accessible for those who need it most.
