Low‐Cost Robotic Guide Based on a Motor Imagery Brain-Computer Interface for Arm Assisted Rehabilitation robotic rehabilitation; robot‐assisted therapy; brain computer interfaces in neurorehabilitation; EEG sensors

Motor imagery has been suggested as an efficient alternative to improve the rehabilitation process of affected limbs. In this study, a low‐cost robotic guide is implemented so that linear position can be controlled via the user's motor imagination of movement intention. The patient can use this device to move the arm attached to the guide according to their own intentions. The first objective of this study was to check the feasibility and safety of the designed robotic guide controlled via a motor imagery (MI)‐based brain-computer interface (MI‐BCI) in healthy individuals, with the ultimate aim to apply it to rehabilitation patients. The second objective was to determine which are the most …
