Stroke Rehabilitation 

In addition to advantages towards brain perfusion monitoring, stroke rehabilitation studies may benefit from fNIRS because of its portability and ease of application. These features allow for assessment during whole-body movements as well as neurofeedback methods that are indicative of brain function, which may be of particular interest for rehabilitation strategies that take place at home.
