Abstract Background and Objective: Rehabilitation after stroke is essential to minimize
permanent disability. Gamification, the integration of game elements into non-game …

Sensorimotor deficits following stroke often result in loss of independence and are a leading
cause of long-term disability. 1, 2 These impairments can include weakness, spasticity, and …

Reinforcement feedback can improve motor learning, but the underlying brain mechanisms
remain underexplored. In particular, the causal contribution of specific patterns of oscillatory …

Over the past decade, research has shown that the primary motor cortex (M1), the brain's
main output for movement, also responds to rewards. These reward signals may shape …

In this chapter, we provide a review of the current applications of wearable sensors in the
field of stroke rehabilitation. Four key points are discussed in this review. First, wearable …

Background: Virtual reality (VR) therapy is increasingly used and has shown encouraging
effects. Yet, it is unknown which patients respond best to VR-based balance therapy as part …

Purpose Telerehabilitation systems have the potential to enable therapists to monitor and
assist stroke patients in achieving high-intensity upper extremity exercise in the home …

Motor skill learning and performance are improved when successful actions are paired with
extrinsic rewards, such as money. Positive feedback indicating successful task performance …

Ischemic stroke frequently causes motor impairments. Despite exercise can improve motor
outcomes, many stroke survivors remain life-long disabled. Understanding the mechanisms …

Background Digital health technologies (DHTs) are increasingly used in physical stroke
rehabilitation to support individuals in successfully engaging with the frequent, intensive …
