Clinical Trial Summary

The current project will aid patients with motor impairment to reduce the need for homecare. Specifically the aim is to develop and implement a robotic exoskeleton and brain computer interface to assist and eventually perform arm and hand movement in patients with the progressive neurodegenerative disease ALS. This proposal brings together state-of-the-art robotic technology, EEG-based brain computer interface (BCI) know-how, clinical expertise, patient perspective and industrial partners to develop and implement a robotic arm/hand device that will adapt, with increasing brain-computer control, based on the need of the patient. In short the BCI will measure electroencephalography (EEG) from the surface of the scalp and recognize signature EEG as the patient intents to move. As the patient loses muscle power the BCI robotic-device will gradually take over and support motor activity, even when the patient is totally paralyzed. As the device supports hand/arm function only, the investigators aim to address ADLs associated to hand function, specifically eating activities.
