Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to see if combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with rehabilitation over two weeks could enhance motor function recovery in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI).
- Conducted at the Cleveland Clinic, the research involved eight male participants with chronic incomplete motor tetraplegia, who underwent massed practice training with or without tDCS.
- Results indicated that those who received tDCS showed significantly greater improvements in muscle strength compared to a control group, suggesting the need for further clinical trials to explore this rehabilitation strategy.
