Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Analysis of functional brain connectivity at rest before and during MI-NF training using coherence analysis of resting-state EEG data. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Investigation of EEG power, event-related desynchronization (ERD), and lateralization of brain activity during MI-NF training; Analysis of functional connectivity and brain activity using fMRI; Assessment of changes in motor performance through standardized tests (ARAT, mFMA-UE) and maximal grip strength; analysis of upper limb movements using IMU sensors and RGB-D cameras; Examination of the correlation between changes in motor performance and neural activity/connectivity; Comparison of motor and cognitive test results before and after MI-NF training; Investigation of the relationship between motor assessment (e.g., ARAT, mFMA-UE, grip strength) and analyzed movement data of the upper limbs. | — |
