Closed-loop Sensorimotor Integrated (CSMI) Control in Exoneuromusculoskeleton (ENMS) for Precise Wrist-hand Rehabilitation After Stroke

31. juli 2026 oppdatert av: Xiaoling Hu, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine whether using both brain and muscle signals to control a wrist-hand rehabilitation robot can improve recovery in people with chronic stroke.

A total of 48 participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both groups will receive 20 sessions of wrist-hand rehabilitation using an exoneuromusculoskeleton rehabilitation robot.

In the closed-loop sensorimotor integrated group, the system will use information from both brain-muscle coordination and muscle activity to recognize the participant's movement intention and provide electrical stimulation and robotic assistance. In the electromyography-driven group, the system will use muscle activity alone to control the electrical stimulation and robotic assistance.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

Does control using both brain and muscle signals improve wrist and hand motor function more than control using muscle signals alone? Does this approach produce greater changes in coordination between the brain and muscles? Participants will complete motor-function and brain-muscle assessments before training, immediately after the 20 training sessions, and 3 months after training.

Våpen og intervensjoner

Deltakergruppe / Arm
Intervensjon / Behandling
Eksperimentell: Closed-Loop Sensorimotor Integrated Group
Participants will receive 20 sessions of wrist-hand rehabilitation using an exoneuromusculoskeleton (ENMS). In this group, corticomuscular coherence (CMC) and electromyographic (EMG) signals will be used together to identify voluntary movement intention and control neuromuscular electrical stimulation and robotic assistance during wrist and hand movements.
Enhet: CSMI-Controlled ENMS
The exoneuromusculoskeleton (ENMS) provides neuromuscular electrical stimulation and robotic assistance for wrist-hand rehabilitation. In the CSMI-controlled intervention, corticomuscular coherence and electromyographic signals are jointly used to identify voluntary movement intention and trigger assistance. Participants will receive 20 training sessions.
Aktiv komparator: EMG-Driven Group
Participants will receive 20 sessions of wrist-hand rehabilitation using the same exoneuromusculoskeleton (ENMS). In this group, electromyographic (EMG) activity alone will be used to identify voluntary movement intention and control neuromuscular electrical stimulation and robotic assistance during wrist and hand movements.

Fugl-Meyer Assessment Wrist/Hand Subscale (FMA-WH) Score
Tidsramme: At three pre-training assessments conducted over 2 weeks, immediately after completion of the 20 training sessions, and 3 months after completion of training
The Fugl-Meyer Assessment Wrist and Hand Subscore (FMA-WH) evaluates motor impairment of the paretic wrist and hand after stroke. The score ranges from 0 to 24, including a maximum of 10 points for wrist function and 14 points for hand function. Higher scores indicate better wrist-hand motor function.
