Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Pediatric Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Children and young people (CYP) with severe physical disabilities face mobility barriers, impacting development and participation.
  • Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) show potential for enabling powered mobility in children with motor impairments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the use of BCI for achieving individualized power mobility goals in severely disabled CYP.
  • To assess the acquisition of power mobility skills using BCI technology.
  • To evaluate the practicality of BCI-enabled power mobility in a pediatric population.

Main Methods:

  • Nine CYP (aged 7-17) with severe physical disabilities underwent up to 12 BCI-enabled power mobility training sessions.
  • Goal achievement was measured using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS).
  • Skill acquisition was assessed using the Assessment for Learning Powered Mobility (ALP); BCI setup, calibration, workload, and engagement were also recorded.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements were observed in COPM performance and satisfaction, and GAS T scores.
  • A small but significant increase in ALP scores indicated skill acquisition, with 7/9 participants showing improvement.
  • BCI setup was practical, but calibration consistency varied; participants reported moderate workload with a trend towards increased frustration.

Conclusions:

  • BCI-enabled power mobility effectively helps CYP with severe physical disabilities achieve personalized goals and acquire skills.
  • The technology appears practical for pediatric use, though optimization is needed for clinical translation.
  • High participant engagement suggests BCI is a viable tool for improving mobility and independence.
