METHOD FOR PATIENTS REHABILITATION AFTER STROKE OR INJURY BY A ROBOTIC COMPLEX COMPRISING HUMAN LIMB EXOSKELETON CONTROLLED BY BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE USING MOTION IMAGING Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61B5/476 A61B5/482 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: patient receives a task of kinesthetic imagination of limb movements, patterns of the patient's brain activity resulting from the imaginary movement are analyzed. Data are to a computer for allocation of signals responsible for movement imagination. The patient is presented the task recognition results via the visual feedback as a mark on the screen. A mark re-position indicates task accuracy. At that, the results of task recognition associated with kinesthetic imagination of paretic limb movement are further presented via the tactile and proprioceptive feedback through the exoskeleton worn on the paretic limb In case of proper task recognition, the exoskeleton moves the limb in the imaginary movement direction, and in case of a wrong result - in the opposite direction.

EFFECT: method allows to increase treatment efficiency, which is achieved by additional tactile engagement of proprioceptive sensitivity in the motor function recovery.
