简要总结
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the possible effect of using dual-tDCS applied during conventional physical therapy on lower limb function in stroke patients.
详细描述
Recently dual-tDCS applied before the conventional physical therapy show positive effect of lower limb performance. However to explore the time during which dual-tDCS can be combined with physical therapy to maximize motor performance is required. Results from the present study with be compared with our previous study that used dual-tDCS applied before physical therapy.
