Rehabilitating the motor circuits of the brain - improving motor recovery after stroke

Stroke affects around 30 000 people in Sweden each year [1]. When affecting the primary motor cortex it often causes persistent motor impairments that last throughout life. Severe motor disabilities following stroke, such as the inability to move parts of the body, make rehabilitation more difficult and thereby contribute to incomplete recovery. This project aims to improve motor recovery in stroke patients by integrating novel neurotechnology in rehabilitation after stroke.
