A Study Exploring Brain Activity in Relation to Sensory Arm Impairments in the Early Stages of Stroke

Neural Correlates of Upper Limb Somatosensory Impairments and Recovery in the Acute Phase After Stroke: an EEG Investigation

Summary

This clinical study is organized for people with stroke often experience difficulties with their sensation in their upper limb. New technologies may be able to help these important problems. However, there is currently not enough knowledge about how the brain recovers in people with sensory impairments in their arm and hand. Using a non-invasive technique of recording brain activity, known as electroencephalography (EEG), brain activity in combination with somatosensation of the hand will be measured. Therefore, the purpose of this study will be to analyse brain activity in relation to somatosensory impairments after stroke during the first two weeks after stroke.
