Abstract
After strokes, many patients suffer from impaired upper extremity function which adversely affects the performance of activities of daily living [4,5]. Conventional rehabilitation such as task-oriented exercises may not always result in full recovery [2]. Applying Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) with motor training can improve motor recovery and neuroplasticity [1,3,4,6]. This study aims to explore the effects of combined occupational therapy on upper extremity and tDCS on hemiparetic stroke patients. The Cognitive and psychological outcomes will be measured along with physiological outcomes, consisting of motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude by single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation(sTMS). Functional outcomes will be measured by the Fugl-Meyer Assessment.
