From the registry
Recent studies showed that a non-invasive, low-intensity brain stimulation called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can effectively increase motor neuron excitability in the brain and therefore promotes functional recovery after stroke. Thus, the overall purpose of this research project is to examine the effect of brain stimulation on motor skill learning in stroke survivors.
Primary outcomes
- Mean change from baseline in stepping motor control after a single brain stimulation and locomotor learning session.
- Mean change from baseline in gait performances after a single brain stimulation and locomotor learning session.
- Mean change from baseline in brain neuronal network activations after a single brain stimulation and locomotor learning session.
- Mean change from baseline in brain neuronal activations after a single brain stimulation and locomotor learning session.
