Rehabilitation is important for stroke patients since it helps to regain normal functionality of organs and makes patients able to live normally. This paper emphasizes on the rehabilitation of upper limb and lower limb simultaneously by using the remaining ability of patient with brain computer interface (BCI). This paper proposes rehabilitation device to assist patient for four limb rehabilitation by using hybrid software that detects Electroencephalography signal (EEG) and Electromyography signal (EMG) from patient to control the rehabilitation device. The rehabilitation follows normal physiology of human, i.e. starts by developing sensory motor, motor neuron, muscle fiber and muscle successively. Therefore, the proposed rehabilitation in this paper has advantage to the development of stroke patient with the average accuracy of approximately 80%.
