NCT03067818

Brief Summary

This study examines the effect of non-invasive brain stimulation targeting different brain areas on movement of the affected arm post-stroke. Participants will receive stimulation to each of 3 different brain areas combined with a session of arm exercise.

Intervention Model
CROSSOVER
Model Details: Each participant will receive stimulation targeting each brain area. The order in which the stimulation sites are targeted for each participant is randomized and there is a washout period of several weeks between each treatment.
