“…This type of directed sensory rehabilitation is currently being explored, such as focal repetitive muscle vibration, which is a non-invasive post-stroke therapy to reduce muscle tone [ 42 , 43 ]. Another example is wearable focal stimulation devices, such as a vibrotactile glove (VTG), which provides vibratory input to the paretic limb of chronic stroke survivors and has been shown to promote neural plasticity and reduces spasticity [ 44 , 45 ]. Other studies have used robot-assisted somatosensory training and vibrotactile biofeedback devices [ 46 , 47 ].…”

The cortical motor system can be reorganized following a stroke, with increased recruitment of the contralesional hemisphere. However, it is unknown whether a similar hemispheric shift occurs in the somatosensory system to adapt to this motor change, and whether this is related to movement impairments. This proof-of-concept study assessed somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs), P50 and N100, in hemiparetic stroke participants and age-matched controls using high-density electroencephalograph (EEG) recordings during tactile finger stimulation. The laterality index was calculated to determine the hemispheric dominance of the SEP and re-confirmed with source localization. The study found that latencies of P50 and N100 were significantly delayed in stroke brains when stimulating the paretic hand. The amplitude of P50 in the contralateral (to stimulated hand) hemisphere was negatively correlated with the Fügl–Meyer upper extremity motor score in stroke. Bilateral cortical responses were detected in stroke, while only contralateral cortical responses were shown in controls, resulting in a significant difference in the laterality index. These results suggested that somatosensory reorganization after stroke involves increased recruitment of ipsilateral cortical regions, especially for the N100 SEP component. This reorganization delays the latency of somatosensory processing after a stroke. This research provided new insights related to the somatosensory reorganization after stroke, which could enrich future hypothesis-driven therapeutic rehabilitation strategies from a sensory or sensory-motor perspective.

Home rehabilitation systems have already made their way into widely accepted medical practices, and their further diffusion will help limit healthcare-related costs and improve treatment conditions. For a therapy to successfully rely on a rehabilitation system, this should provide support that can be proven to meet treatment-specific purposes. This work deals with the validation of a home rehabilitation system designed to assist therapists in limb motor dysfunction treatment by providing joint angle measurements. The system under test has been compared with two commercial systems, commonly used in rehabilitation laboratories.
