摘要: Background Previous studies showed that anodal transcranial DC stimulation (tDCS) applied to the primary motor cortex of affected hemisphere (M1affected hemisphere) after subcortical stroke transiently improves performance complex tasks mimic activities daily living (ADL). It is not known if relatively simpler are similarly affected. Here we tested effects tDCS on pinch force (PF) and simple reaction time (RT) in patients with chronic a double-blind cross-over Sham-controlled experimental design.
