Study Overview
Brief Summary
20 participants with neurological upper limb motor impairments will be selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be randomized into two groups by sealed envelope method for tDCS and Bilateral Arm Training. tDCS will be delivered for a duration of 20 minutes followed by 30 minutes of conventional treatment and in bilateral arm training activities which includes involvement of both arms will be given for 30 minutes followed by 20 minutes of conventional treatment.
