The authors carried out a review of works on the issue of motor activity changes after a stroke using high-tech methods of apparatus rehabilitation. The paper presents a review of rehabilitation devices based on surface electromyography using biofeedback. The classification of methods for recording brain activity is considered, as well as a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the interfaces based on electroencephalography to substantiate the choice of the most rational method for solving the tasks posed. The authors proposed a new method of post-stroke rehabilitation using biofeedback based on synchronous recording of brain bioelectrical activity in the form of stationary visual evoked potential (SSVEP) and surface electromyography, which provides active training with a minimum level of neuromuscular system preservation.
