    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Pediatric Physical Therapy

    Background:

    • Children with severe physical disabilities face limitations in environmental exploration, impacting development.
    • Existing assistive technologies may not be suitable for all children, hindering independent mobility.
    • Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer a potential alternative access method for assistive devices.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the feasibility of using a simple BCI system for power mobility in children with quadriplegic cerebral palsy.
    • To assess the potential of BCIs to facilitate independent exploration and its associated benefits.

    Main Methods:

    • A pilot study involving four children with quadriplegic cerebral palsy.
    • Utilized a simple brain-computer interface (BCI) system to control a power mobility device.
    • Assessed the ability of participants to operate the device for environmental exploration.

    Main Results:

    • All four participants were able to use the BCI system to drive a power mobility device forward over a distance of at least 7 meters.
    • Sustained BCI activations for more efficient driving require further practice and development.
    • Demonstrated the potential for BCIs to enable basic independent mobility.

    Conclusions:

    • A simple BCI system can be effectively used by children with quadriplegic cerebral palsy to control power mobility.
    • BCI-driven mobility offers a pathway to enhanced environmental exploration, promoting developmental, social, and psychological benefits.
    • Further research and practice are needed to optimize BCI control for advanced mobility skills.
