Effects of Transcranial Electrical Stimulation in Stroke Individuals

"Electrode placement based on the international 10 - 20 electroencephalography electrode system for the cathodal electrode will be applied over the contralesional hemisphere. In contrast, an anodal electrode will be applied over the ipsilesional hemisphere on the primary motor cortex (C3 or C4). Participants will be asked to sit comfortably during stimulation.~In the Active-tDCS group, participants will receive real tDCS with intensity 2.0 mA for 30 minutes, with a 30-second ramp-up and ramp-down."

Participants will be asked to sit comfortably during stimulation.~In the Sham group, participants will receive sham stimulation with intensity 2.0 mA for 1 minute, with a 30-second ramp-up and ramp-down, and no stimulation until the end of 30 minutes of stimulation. Electrodes will remain for 30 minutes."

A conventional physical therapy program will be provided after 30 minutes of stimulation immediately. The program will be provided for both upper and lower limbs which consist of stretching exercise, active exercise, and functional exercise.
