Summary
This study tested whether a brain-computer interface (BCI) system called IpsiHand can help people with chronic stroke improve arm and hand movement when used at home. 109 adults with arm weakness after a stroke used either the BCI system or standard exercises. The BCI system uses a headband to read brain signals and a robotic hand exoskeleton to help open and close the hand. The goal was to see if remote home-based therapy is effective for recovery.
