Therapists' perspectives on using brain-computer interface-triggered functional electrical stimulation therapy for individuals living with upper extremity paralysis: a qualitative case series study.

Only three physical therapists and three occupational therapists were interviewed, all from the same rehabilitation environment, so views may not match other clinics. Interviews were by phone, so non-verbal cues were not observed. The therapists had already taken part in BCI-FEST research and were likely more interested in technology than typical clinicians. The paper reports therapists' perspectives, not patient outcomes, so it cannot show that the therapy improves upper-limb function. No patient or BCI-operator perspectives were included. One therapist initially consented but did not respond, and another therapist was an author and could not be interviewed.

The supplied text does not include a funding or conflict-of-interest statement. The publication types list non-U.S. government research support.

Do not read this as evidence that BCI-triggered electrical stimulation improves upper-limb function. It reports therapists' views after delivery in research settings, not patient outcomes.
