Description

This study is a randomized clinical trail (RCT) of stroke survivors with chronic (6 to 24 months) hemiplegia randomized to: 1) conventional transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), 2) unconventional tDCS, or 3) sham tDCS during contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation mediated occupational therapy. The treatment will last 12 weeks and be followed by a 6-month follow-up period. Assessors, therapists and participants will be blinded to which tDCS treatment is received. This will be the first RCT of tDCS + CCFES.
