First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for rehabilitating a patient comprising:
- identifying a patient having a chronic and permanent neurological condition resulting from a lesion to a cerebral hemisphere;
placing a therapy delivery device on a target site of interhemispheric fibers of the patient;
selecting stimulation parameters for a therapy signal; and
activating the therapy delivery device to deliver the therapy signal to the target site to treat the patient'"'"'s condition.

Abstract
Methods of treating various medical conditions by neuromodulation of a target site of interhemispheric fibers. Such medical conditions include unilateral motor deficits, movement disorders, psychiatric disorders, speech or cognitive deficits associated with hemispheric lesions, visual deficits associated with hemispheric lesions, hereditary/genetic disorders, congenital malformations, infection disease, degenerative disorder, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic disorders. A method of providing recovery and rehabilitation from states of reduced consciousness by neuromodulating a target site of interhemispheric fibers is also provided.

24. A method for rehabilitating a patient comprising:
-
identifying a patient having a chronic and permanent neurological condition resulting from a lesion to a cerebral hemisphere; placing a therapy delivery device on a target site of interhemispheric fibers of the patient; sensing a bodily activity of the patient associated with the condition and generating a sensor signal; in response to the sensor signal, selecting or re-adjusting stimulation parameters for a therapy signal; and activating the therapy delivery device to initiate application of the therapy signal to the target site of the patient to treat the condition.
