Study Summary
This study will compare different polarities of transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation combined with robotic-assisted arm training (RAT) in adults with acquired brain injury (ABI). Participants will receive 20 minutes of 2.5 milliamps (mA) anodal, cathodal, and sham transpinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) over cervical spine combined with high intensity robotic-assisted arm training, five days a week, for 2 consecutive weeks.
Primary Outcome
FMA is a stroke-specific, performance based impairment index. It quantitatively measures impairment based on Twitchell and Brunnstrom's concept of sequential stages of motor return in hemiplegic stroke patients. It uses an ordinal scale for scoring of 33 items for the upper limb component of the F-M scale (0:can not perform; 1:can perform partially; 2:can perform fully). Total range is 0-66, 0 being poor and 66 normal.
Interventions
- DEVICE tsDCS-Anodal Stimulation
- DEVICE tsDCS-Cathodal Stimulation
- DEVICE tsDCS-Sham Stimulation
- DEVICE Robotic-assisted training of arm and hand functions
