To evaluate the quality of device setup, we will measure any changes or movement of the headgear. To do this, we will mark the starting and ending location of the headgear and measure the distance between the two. It will be reported if the headgear moved in any participants and the average displacement.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Average over 5 days

To evaluate the feasibility of remotely monitored-tDCS, participants were asked how difficult the setup instructions were to understand on a 5 point scale (Very easy, easy, slightly difficult, very difficult, impossible). Set up instruction consisted of 6 steps, participants were asked to rate the steps each day. Results are reported as overall percentage of difficulty rating over 5 days

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Post sessions on day 2, 3, 4 , and 5

To evaluate the potential change in motor function, the Box and Blocks score will be measured before and after each active session. This is a timed motor assessment, the score is the number of blocks successfully moved over a partition in one minute, a higher score indicates greater hand function. Lower scores indicate lower hand function. The reported outcome measure describes the change over each session in the Box and Blocks score. Motor function is not hypothesized to change due to the limited trials of active tDCS.
