About this trial
Balance and gait recovery is a critical aspect of post-stroke motor rehabilitation. Researchers have effectively utilized EEG to investigate different aspects of lower limb motor control, however there are several technical challenges in the existing brain computer interface (BCI) motor profiling.
The study aims to test the EEG-BCI system to see if it's effective in understanding the balance and walking patterns of post-stroke populations.
