DEVICE

Real TUS

2 channel transducer from Sonic Concepts will be used to deliver 120s train of 20ms ultrasound bursts, repeated every 200ms (Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF)=5Hz).

DEVICE

Real FES

"Twin Stim Plus EMS stimulator will be used to deliver FES to right and left hand opponens pollicis, first lumbrical and first dorsal interosseous muscles. Parameters of stimulation are 40 Hz frequency, 300 microsecs pulse duration, amplitude as per participant tolerance and total stimulation time 30 mins with ON time of 4 secs and OFF time of 4 secs."

DEVICE

Sham TUS

2 channel transducer from Sonic Concepts will be used to deliver 120s train of 20ms ultrasound bursts, repeated every 200ms (Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF)=5Hz) however the ultrasound head will be flipped so that the active side faces away from the scalp.

DEVICE

Sham FES

"Twin Stim Plus EMS stimulator will be used to deliver FES to right and left biceps and long finger flexors. Parameters of stimulation are 40 Hz frequency, 300 microsecs pulse duration, amplitude as per participant tolerance and total stimulation time 30 mins with ON time of 4 secs and OFF time of 4 secs."
