Key result

Home-based Tele BCI-FES improves post-stroke upper extremity function by ~4 points with high feasibility.

Why the study?

Does a home-based Tele BCI-FES system demonstrate feasibility and improve upper extremity function in chronic stroke survivors?

Structured PICO

Does a home-based Tele BCI-FES system demonstrate feasibility and improve upper extremity function in chronic stroke survivors?

Population

8 chronic stroke patients and their caregivers who underwent nine home-based Tele BCI-FES sessions.

Intervention

Tele BCI-FES (brain-computer interface and functional electrical stimulation) telerehabilitation system, consisting of nine home-based sessions (three sessions per week) with remote support

Outcome

Recruitment and retention rates, and participants' perception on the adoption of technology

Limitations

Findings are not generalizable as they were derived from a small-scale feasibility study.
The intervention was not compared to other therapeutic approaches, limiting conclusions regarding its relative effectiveness.

Mansour et al. (2025) studied Stroke (n=8). Tele BCI-FES system was evaluated on Recruitment and retention rates, and participants' perception on the adoption of technology. A home-based Tele BCI-FES system for stroke rehabilitation was feasible with 87.5% retention and 86.7% recruitment rates, and improved upper extremity function by an average of 3.83 points (p=0.032).
