Summary

The study aims to evaluate the safety and the feasibility of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) session in children and young adults with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy (UCP). Secondarily it aims to test the effects of tDCS (real vs sham) in improving, in very short term, Upper Limb (UL) functions.
