FUNCTIONAL NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY-BASED UPPER EXTREMITY FUNCTION REHABILITATION FOR STROKE SURVIVOR: A REVIEW

    Recently, the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (600–900nm electromagnetic wave) (f-NIRS)-based rehabilitation researches have been studied for understanding the human brain. Although f-NIRS can successfully measure the relative blood concentration changes of oxy-hemoglobin (HbO) and deoxy-hemoglobin (HbR) as an assessment tool to identify significant clinical intervention during pre- and post-rehabilitation therapy for stroke survivors, there is insufficient information particularly on the use of f-NIRS as a clinical translation in upper extremity function rehabilitation. In order to widely utilize the f-NIRS for upper extremity rehabilitation, device information, experiment design, measurement procedure, and analyzing method are described for clinician aspect in this study. In addition, further research trend was introduced from previous studies for stroke survivor rehabilitation. The authors believed that the information provided in this study can be a useful guideline to encourage future researchers to focus on upper extremity function rehabilitation of stroke survivors.
