Abstract

Over the past decades, various neurotechnologies have been extensively developed and extensively applied in stroke rehabilitation, with some promising results. In this chapter, we first introduced the role of neuroplasticity in poststroke motor recovery and highlighted the great potential of using neurotechnologies in poststroke rehabilitation services. We then reviewed several representative neurotechnological approaches, including noninvasive brain stimulation therapies, visual feedback-based rehabilitation, brain-computer interface, as well as virtual reality-based rehabilitation. We finally concluded the chapter by highlighting the importance and clinical translational values of using these neurotechnologies and future research directions.
