Changes in Hemodynamic Response Following Transcranial Electrical Stimulation in Sroke Individuals

Resumen breve

The present study will use transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) which are transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) combined with conventional physical therapy and cognitive-motor dualt ask gait training in sub-acute (at least 2 weeks after stroke onset) to chronic stroke (within 5 years post-stroke) to investigate changes in brain hemodynamics (oxy-hemoglobin and deoxy-hemoglobin concentration) as measured by functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The findings may provides insights changes in combining tES with rehabilitation on improvements in brain hemodynamics in sub-acute to chronic stroke.
