| Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of brain-computer interface (BCI) combined with functional electrical stimulation (FES) in the rehabilitation of upper limb motor dysfunction in stroke patients during the recovery period. Methods: A total of 40 patients with upper limb dysfunction after stroke were selected and randomly divided into a conventional group and a BCI group, with 20 patients in each. Both groups received conventional rehabilitation therapy. The conventional group underwent FES treatment, while the BCI group received additional BCI training. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Action Research Arm Test (ARAT), Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT), accuracy of electroencephalogram signals, and Modified Barthel Index (MBI) were used as evaluation indicators to assess the rehabilitation effect of upper limb function before treatment and 4 weeks after treatment. Results: Four weeks after treatment, both groups showed significant improvements in FMA, ARAT, WMFT, EEG signal accuracy, and MBI scores (P<0.01). Compared to the conventional group, the brain machine group demonstrated superior performance in FMA, ARAT, WMFT, EEG signal accuracy, and MBI scores (P<0.01). Conclusions: Compared with conventional functional electrical stimulation rehabilitation, BCI combined with FES can more effectively improve upper limb motor function in stroke patients. |
