Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Real stimulation before motor learning training

Patients receive five sessions of tDCS stimulation over C3 (patient with left-sided lesion) or C4 (patient with right-sided lesion) based on 10-20 system immediately before sequential finger tapping task.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

Intervention Type DEVICE

Transcranial direct current stimulation is a form of noninvasive neuromodulation that uses constant and low direct current delivered via electrodes on the scalp.

Motor learning

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Sequential finger tapping task training is applied to stroke patients.

Sham stimulation before motor learning training

Patients receive five sessions of sham stimulation over C3 (patient with left-sided lesion) or C4 (patient with right-sided lesion) based on 10-20 system immediately before sequential finger tapping task.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Motor learning

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Sequential finger tapping task training is applied to stroke patients.
