There is No test–retest reliability of brain activation induced by robotic passive hand movement: A functional NIRS study

摘要

The basic paradigm of rehabilitation is based on the brain plasticity, and for promoting it, test–retest reliability (TRR) of brain activation in which certain area of the brain is repeatedly activated is required. In this study, we investigated whether the robotic passive movement has the TRR of brain activation. While active training has been shown to have TRR, but there still have been arguments over the TRR by passive movement.
