About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This study aims to explore the effect of trans cranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with self-exercise at home for 1 month training (3 sessions/week, for 4 weeks). The outcome assessment including motor function, functional activity, spasticity through neurological assessment (H reflex latency and H/M amplitude ratio) and quality of life will be assessed before, after the intervention and at 1- month follow-up. Participant will communicate with physical therapist via video online platform for every sessions (12 sessions).
The 2 groups in the trial
- Active tDCS and telerehabilitation exercise programTreatment being tested
Participants will receive active tDCS with an intensity 2 mA for 20 minutes and a telerehabilitation exercise program for 50 minutes. The program will be implemented over 12 sessions, occurring three times a week for four weeks).
Treatment: Transcranial direct current stimulation (Active) and Telerehabilitation exercise
- Sham tDCS and Telerehabilitation exerciseSham treatment, for comparison
Participants will receive sham tDCS for 20 minutes. The program will be implemented over 12 sessions, occurring three times a week for four weeks.
Treatment: Transcranial direct current stimulation (Sham) and Telerehabilitation exercise
