Study Summary

This study adopts a strategy that has arisen from basic neuroscience research on facilitating adaptive brain plasticity and applies this to rehabilitation to improve functional recovery in peripheral nervous system injuries (including hand transplantation, hand replantation, and surgically repaired upper extremity nerve injuries). The technique involves combining behavioral training with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)-a non-invasive form of brain stimulation capable of facilitating adaptive changes in brain organization.

Primary Outcome

This functional test measures quality of sensibility of the hand. This outcome measure will investigate any change in participant performance between pre- and post-intervention sessions of the Dellon Modified Moberg Pick-Up Test.

Interventions

  • DEVICE Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
  • BEHAVIORAL Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy
