Summary

This small pilot study is testing whether combining two non-invasive treatments—brain stimulation (tDCS) and muscle stimulation (FES)—can help improve hand control in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. The study involves 15 participants and will measure changes in brain activity and reaction time. It is not a cure, but aims to ease symptoms and improve hand function.
