Parkinson's Disease (PD) is characterized by motor and
cognitive decay, coupled to an alteration of brain oscillatory
patterns. In this study a novel neuro-rehabilitation tool, based
on the application of motor imagery into a Brain Computer
Interface system, is presented with some preliminary data.
Three patients were evaluated (with motor,
neuropsychological and EEG testing) before and after a
neuro-rehabilitation protocol made by 15 experimental
sessions. Patients showed a decrease of freezing of gait
severity, an improvement in alpha and beta EEG bands
power, and a better performance on some attention and
executive tasks.
