Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if multiple therapy sessions of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS non-invasive brain stimulation) combined with robotic arm therapy lead to a greater functional recovery in upper limb mobility after stroke than that provided by robotic arm therapy alone.

Primary Outcome

The median change in Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer Score was calculated from baseline to discharge at 12 weeks (immediately following the intervention) and again at 36 weeks (6 months follow-up from the intervention) in each training condition (sham tDCS + robotics arm training vs. active tDCS + robotic arm training). The total Upper Extremity Fugl Meyer score is reported, with a range 0-66 points, and with higher values indicating better functional status.

Interventions

  • DEVICE Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
  • DEVICE Placebo sham
