No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study aims to determine the added value of combining high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) in a rehabilitation program based on virtual reality therapy (VRT) to potentiate the effects on neuroplasticity and further improve functional recovery of the arm in chronic stroke patients.

Conditions

  • Chronic Post Stroke Individuals

Interventions

DEVICE

HD-tDCS

Real stimulation (2mA, 20min) with anode on C3/C4 of the lesioned hemisphere and 4 return electrodes \~4cm away

DEVICE

Sham HD-tDCS

Sham stimulation (2mA, ramp up and down phases of 30s) with anode on C3/C4 of the lesioned hemisphere and 4 return electrodes \~4cm away
