The effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on motor sequence learning and upper limb function after stroke.

Abstract:

Objective

To assess the impact of electrode arrangement on the efficacy of tDCS in stroke survivors and determine whether changes in transcallosal inhibition (TCI) underlie improvements.

Methods

24 stroke survivors (3–124 months post-stroke) with upper limb impairment participated. They received blinded tDCS during a motor sequence learning task, requiring the paretic arm to direct a cursor to illuminating targets on a monitor. Four tDCS conditions were studied (c...
