Study Summary
Among the 795,000 individuals who sustain a stroke annually in the United States, 65% continue to experience moderate-to-severe impairments in one hand six months or more, which limits their ability to perform daily tasks. Currently there is dearth of understanding of the mechanisms of motor recovery after stroke. Understanding the mechanisms can potentially lead to the development of interventions to improve motor performance after stroke. The proposed study will examine how synchronously pairing brain and hand stimulation repeatedly affects the plasticity of the brain and motor performance after stroke. The knowledge gained from this study can be useful to develop interventions to improve hand movement after moderate-severe stroke.
Primary Outcome
The Box and Block Test (BBT) measures unilateral gross manual dexterity and the ability to release objects. It is a quick, simple and inexpensive test. It can be used with a wide range of populations, including clients with stroke. The BBT is composed of a wooden box divided in two compartments by a partition and 150 blocks. The BBT administration consists of asking the participants to move, one by one, the maximum number of blocks from one compartment of a box to another of equal size, within 6
Interventions
- DEVICE Combined Non-invasive brain stimulation and functional electrical hand stimulation
