Lower Limb Movement Preparation in Chronic Stroke: A Pilot Study Toward an fNIRS-BCI for Gait Rehabilitation

Conclusion. The results provide first evidence that fNIRS can detect brain activity associated with single-trial lower limb motor preparation in stroke patients. These findings encourage further investigation of fNIRS suitability for BCI applications in rehabilitation of patients with lower limb motor impairment after stroke.
