简要总结

After stroke a limited motor recovery in the paretic upper limb accounts for a large proportion of the disabling sequelae. Only about 15% of those with initial complete upper limb paralysis after stroke recover functional use of their impaired arm in daily life.

The aim of this study is to test the effects of tDCS combined with upper extremity robot-assisted therapy on stroke survivors.

入选标准

  • Males and females subjects. Age > 18 years.
  • Diagnosis of first ischemic stroke
  • Impairment of the upper limb
  • Trunk control defined in the Trunk-Control Test (TCT), with a score > 50.

排除标准

  • anyone who does not have adequate understanding of verbal or written information in Italian sufficient to complete any test
  • Impaired cognitive functioning: score less than 24 on the Mini Mental Status Examination (MMSE)
