•The inclusion and exclusion criteria are based on a recommendation from literature and the definition of subacute stroke by Aguital and associates (2016\) as a period of 3 to 6 months post\-stroke incidence (Aguiar et al., 2016\). This definition will define subacute stroke in this current proposed study.
•The patients who meet the following criteria will be included in the study:
•1\.Older adult patients of 55 years and above with mild cognitively impaired stroke (MMSE of 18 to 24\).
•2\.Older adults with mild cognitively impaired stroke with BRS 3\.
•3\.Older adults with stroke having the first episode of unilateral stroke.
•4\.Participants to be included will be medically stable in vital signs to participate in a telerehabilitation stroke rehabilitation regime.

•1\.Patients with conditions that may limit their participation will be excluded, such as having uncontrolled high blood pressure, angina, severe visual or hearing limitations, history of epilepsy, acute eczema, migraine schizophrenia and mental disorders.
•2\. Patients with more than mild cognitive impairment on the MMSE scale will also be excluded from this study as this may affect their participation in telerehabilitation intervention.
•3\.Patients who refuse the tDCS or telerehabilitation exercises intervention or already having similar tDCS and telerehabilitation exercises intervention will be excluded from the study.
