Interface providers in stroke neurorehabilitation

Every year, 15 million people worldwide suffer a stroke, when the blood supply to the brain is blocked or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. After a stroke, specific pattern of cortical reorganization has been described. During the past few years, three principles for remodeling motor cortex ; forced use of the affected limb, constraining the unaffected limb, and massed practice, showed very promising results. But the question remains:What’s the most effectiveway to reach restoration of the whole body movement? Advances in clinical neurology, embodied cognitive neuroscience and computer technology have made possible the emergence of a new set of neurorehabilitation tools, helping physiatrists and neurologist to find evidence- based answers in the form of clinical trials. Interface here are define as a point of interaction helping communication between the patient and his own body, using feedback and feedforward signals.
