Аннотация: Recent studies have demostrated that a protocol using a brain-controlled exoskeleton combined with tactile feedback and virtual reality can induce neuroplastic changes in tactile perception and motor activity after spinal cord lesions. Here, we propose to reproduce and improve this previous protocol using ExoAtlet's exoskeleton, dynamic virtual reality (with visual and auditory stimulation), as well as tactile and thermal stimulation. The main hypothesis is that an increased coherence between the multiple stimuli applied may be critical for the neurological improvement. The main goal is to reduce the amount of time required to achieve tactile and motor regeneration.
