Interventions

Active tDCSdevice

Anodal tDCS will be placed over the primary motor cortex and delivered at 2mA for 20 minutes. Immediately after stimulation ceases, participants will continue with unilateral repetitive arm and finger exercises for 60 minutes. Exercise difficulty will gradually be increased and adjusted per participant's tolerance.

Sham tDCSdevice

Anodal tDCS will be placed over the primary motor cortex and delivered at 2mA for 20 minutes. Immediately after stimulation ceases, participants will continue with unilateral repetitive arm and finger exercises for 60 minutes. Exercise difficulty will gradually be increased and adjusted per participant's tolerance.
