The effect of transcranial direct current stimulation combined with functional task training on motor recovery in stroke patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Motor deficits are common after stroke and are a major contributor to stroke-related disability and the potential for long-lasting neurobiological consequences of stroke remains unresolved. There are only a few treatments available for the improvement of motor function in stroke patients. However, the mechanisms underlying stroke recovery remain poorly understood, and effective neurorehabilitation interventions remain insufficiently proven for widespread implementation.

Methods

Herein, we propose to enhance the effects of brain plasticity using a powerful noninvasive technique for brain modulation consisting of navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) priming with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in combination with motor-training-like const
