Summary

This study tests if combining a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) with watching hand movement videos (action observation therapy) can help people who had a stroke regain hand function. 60 adults with chronic stroke will receive 10 sessions of either the combined treatment, stimulation alone, or video therapy alone, followed by 8 weeks of home practice. The goal is to understand how these treatments change brain activity and improve hand movement.
