Novel Brain Signal Feedback Paradigm to Enhance Motor Learning After Stroke

11. maj 2020 opdateret af: VA Office of Research and Development
Stroke (795,000/year in the US and 30 million existing stroke survivors in the world) damages brain neural structures that control coordinated upper limb movement. To most effectively target the brain damage, interventions should be directed so as to restore brain control serving coordination of peripheral neuromuscular function. Currently, there is a lack of a transformative intervention strategy, and only limited efficacy is seen in response to neural rehabilitation that is only peripherally-directed (limbs e.g.) or only directed at the brain. This study will employ a novel neural feedback approach with a closed-loop, real-time paradigm to engage and retrain existing brain function after stroke. Real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rtfMIR) provides neural feedback with the advantage of precisely identifying the location of brain activity for multiple cognitive and emotional tasks. However, the rtfMRI is costly and precludes motor learning that requires sitting and engaging the upper limb in complex motor tasks during imaging acquisition. In contrast, real-time functional near-infrared spectroscopy (rtfNIRS), although not as spatially precise as rtfMRI, offers a low-cost, portable solution to provide brain neural feedback during motor learning. This proposal will utilize both technologies in a hybrid, sequential motor learning protocol. Moreover, the study protocol will also simultaneously involve both central effective signals (through neural feedback) and peripheral affective signals by employing neutrally-triggered functional electrical stimulation (FES)-assisted coordination practice, which produces peripherally-induced affective signals from muscle and joint receptors. This novel combination intervention protocol will engage the central nervous system, motor effective pathway training along with induction of affective signal production (FES-assisted practice), all of which will be implemented within the framework of evidence-based motor learning principles.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

This study aims to develop and test an innovative protocol for recovery of wrist extension after stroke, using a combination of rtfMRI, rtfNIRS, FES, and motor learning.

Aim I. Test the innovative coordination training protocol of combination rtfMRI/rtfNIRS central neural feedback and peripherally-directed, neurally-triggered FES-assisted coordination practice implemented within a framework of motor learning principles.

Hypothesis 1. Chronic stroke survivors will show significant improvement in upper limb function in response to the combined rtfMRI/rtfNIRS central neural feedback; peripherally-directed FES-assisted coordination practice of wrist and finger extension; and whole arm/hand motor learning (Primary measure: Pre-/post-treatment change score in Arm Motor Abilities Test - function domain (AMAT - F); secondary measure: Pre/post-treatment change score in Fugl-Meyer upper limb coordination.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Stroke Group

Intervention: Stroke subjects will receive neural feedback plus FES and motor learning intervention that spans 3 phases and up to a total of 60 sessions.

Phase I: real-time fMRI neural feedback training; Phase II: rtfNIRS-based neural feedback learning (built upon self-regulation strategies learned in Phase I and also assisted by neurally-triggered, peripherally-directed FES motor practice of wrist and finger extension); Phase III: motor learning minus neural feedback for an additional sessions up to 60 total; Phase IV: follow-up testing at 3 months after-treatment ends

We are not testing the feasibility of the imaging methods; that has been well established and is used clinically. We are testing the feasibility of using neural feedback clinical imaging methods in a neural feedback paradigm which involves sequential rtfMRI (phase I) and rtfNIRS (phase II) training; Neurally-triggered, peripherally-directed FES-assist practice of wrist and finger extension will be combined with rtfNIRS training in Phase II; up to 60 total sessions, including additional motor learning sessions without brain neural feedback will be provided in Phase III.
