| Research Abstract |
Simultaneous transcranial magnetic stimulation (tDCS) and functional electrical stimulation for tibial nerve could induce no improvement of gait disturbance in stroke patients. In order to apply brain-machine interface (BMI) to therapy of gait disturbance, we investigated whether tDCS could modulate sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) control, which utilized for BMI. The responses of SMR after tDCS were different between healthy subjects and patients with lower limb amputations. It is necessary for application of BMI technique in gait disturbance to use inhibitory or excitatory stimulation properly. These findings might contribute in improving the effectiveness of SMR-based BMI for gait restoration.
