Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Subjects will receive, in addition to conventional rehabilitation, 2mA for 20 mins of their attributed tDCS, 5 times a week.
Evaluations will take place before the first stimulation period (48h post stroke), after 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks. Evaluations consist of the Wolf Motor Function Test, the Fugl Meyer, and the Semmes Weinstein Monofilament Test

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Each group will receive one of the following tDCS montages :
Anodal : Anode placer over the affected primary motor cortex, cathode over contralateral supra orbital area Bilateral : Anode placer over the affected primary motor cortex, cathode over unaffected motor cortex Cathodal : Cathode placer over the unaffected primary motor cortex, anode over contralateral supra orbital area Extracephalic : Anode placer over the affected primary motor cortex, cathode over right shoulder Placebo : anode montage but current is ramped up over 15 secondes, then ramped down.
Subjects will receive, in addition to conventional rehabilitation (±1.5h/weekday), 2mA for 20 mins of their attributed tDCS, 5 times a week.
Evaluations will take place before the first stimulation period (48h post stroke), after 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks. Evaluations consist of the Wolf Motor Function Test, the Fugl Meyer, and the Semmes Weinstein Monofilament Test
All researchers, therapists, data analysis and patients are blinded by a code system implemented in the tDCS machine
