Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether noninvasive brain stimulation associated with motor learning offers an additional benefit than motor learning alone in patients with stroke. The investigators hypothesis is that active transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) will induce a greater motor function improvement as compared with sham tDCS combined with CIMT.

Primary Outcome

Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test: measures hand function in real-life activities, by evaluating the time required to perform 7 different tasks. We used the non-cronstrained hand for the assessments. The sum of the different tasks was used for the analysis.
