Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Biomedical Technology

Background:

  • Brain-computer interface (BCI) and functional electrical stimulation therapy (FEST) integration shows promise for upper limb motor rehabilitation post-spinal cord injury (SCI).
  • Clinical adoption of combined BCI-FEST technologies remains limited.
  • KITE-BCI was developed to bridge this gap for clinical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the technical features and performance of the KITE-BCI system.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of KITE-BCI integrated with dynamic FEST for upper limb motor rehabilitation in individuals with cervical SCI.
  • To compare stimulation latencies between BCI- and therapist-triggered events.

Main Methods:

  • Two single-arm, 40-session interventional studies were conducted.
  • Participants included individuals with sub-acute and chronic cervical SCI (C4-C5 level, AIS B-D).
  • Key metrics included BCI setup duration and BCI sensitivity (successful activations/total cued movements).

Main Results:

  • Overall BCI sensitivities were 74.46% (sub-acute) and 79.08% (chronic) groups.
  • Average KITE-BCI setup duration was 11 minutes and 13 seconds.
  • The system demonstrated successful integration and operation within rehabilitation settings.

Conclusions:

  • KITE-BCI is a clinically viable single-channel BCI system for FEST integration.
  • It offers a versatile, technology-enhanced strategy for upper limb motor rehabilitation after SCI.
  • The system's performance supports its potential for broader clinical use.
