The study will evaluate a simulator that combines robotic orthosis, a non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI), and a virtual reality (VR) display. The goal of this trial is to advance stroke rehabilitation by exploring the potential benefits of these cutting-edge technologies.\n\nKey Research Questions:\n\nEfficacy: Does the new simulator significantly improve arm function compared to standard rehabilitation techniques?\n\nBCI Technology: Which approach - motor imagery of only the paretic arm or both the paretic and healthy arm - yields greater functional improvements?\n\nVR Contribution: How does the integration of VR enhance rehabilitation outcomes?\n\nSafety and Tolerability: What potential side effects or adverse events may arise from using the new simulator?\n\nParticipants who have suffered a stroke will undergo a standard rehabilitation course, during which 10-12 sessions will take place using the innovative simulator: a robotic device moves a patient's paralyzed arm at the command of a non-invasive brain-computer interface to perform a game task resembling real-life activities, augmented by a virtual reality display.\n\nResearchers will assess the impact of the new technology on arm function to determine its efficacy in promoting recovery."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges':
