Abstract : Hybrid Assistive Neuromuscular Dynamic Stimulation (HANDS) therapy was developed as a new therapeutic approach to facilitate the use of the affected upper extremity in daily living by combining closed loop EMG controlled neuromuscular electrical stimulation with a wrist splint for patients with moderate to severe hemiparesis. We found significant functional recovery and physiological changes in patients following HANDS therapy. We cannot, however, apply HANDS therapy in patients whose paretic extensor EMG activities are undetectable with surface electrodes. For such severely hemiparetic patients, we can apply the Brain Machine Interface (BMI) to facilitate EMG activities in the paretic finger extensors. After the BMI training, we found that EMG activity appeared in the affected finger extensors. HANDS therapy and BMI may offer promising options for improving paretic upper extremity function among patients with severely hemiparetic upper extremities.
