Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Previous studies show that one session of tDCS allow to improve muscle strength in hemiparetic patients in anodal condition. We test a new electrods configuration : a anodale stimulation opposite to the cortical representation area of the injured hemisphere and a simultaneous stimulation opposite to the homonyme the cortical representation area of the healthy hemisphere. This approach seems to be the best relevant electrods configuration in order to restore the inter-hemispheric balance.

We hypothesis that one session of tDCS with this electrods configuration allow to improve paretic quadriceps strength in hemiparetic patients after stroke.
