- Abstract
The aim of the present work was to study the effects of multiple courses of "BCI + hand exoskeleton" neurorehabilitation on the restoration of movements and resocialization of patients during the fi rst year after stroke. The study included seven patients with cerebral stroke who received two or more courses of sessions. All patients had poststroke hemiparesis of severity 1-4 points. Multiple courses of "BCI + hand exoskeleton" neurorehabilitation led to maintenance of the level of motor activity with further improvements, repeated courses yielding signifi cantly better results than single courses. Appropriate personal interpretation of illness, a positive attitude to recovery, and being motivated to take active part in the rehabilitation process were fundamental for effective rehabilitation of patients.
