Study Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation and functional upper extremity task training to functional upper extremity task training alone. The functional upper extremity task training uses the Armeo Spring robotic arm to support the limb while playing functional task games on a computer. Specific Aims: 1. To demonstrate that tDCS combined with upper extremity functional task training in a virtual environment is more effective than functional task training in a virtual environment with sham tDCS. 2. To compare cortico-excitatory changes following training with tDCS vs. sham stimulation, using paired- and single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation as a tool to measure cortical excitability.
Primary Outcome
The Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test is a functional test consisting of 7 subtests. Each subtest requires that the subject performs a motor task (e.g. using one hand to pick up a small object positioned on a table in front of the subject). The test score is derived by measuring (using a stopwatch) the time in sec that the subject needs to complete the task. Individuals with no motor impairments typically need between 30 and 60 sec to complete the 7 subtests of the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Tes
