Effects of brain-computer interface with functional electrical stimulation for gait rehabilitation in multiple sclerosis patients: preliminary findings in gait speed and event-related desynchronization onset latency.

Brain-computer Interfaces (BCI) with functional electrical stimulation (FES) as a feedback device might promote neuroplasticity and hence improve motor function. Novel findings suggested that neuroplasticity could be possible in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). This preliminary study explores the effects of using a BCI-FES in therapeutic intervention, as an emerging methodology for gait rehabilitation in pwMS.
