Children with spastic hemiparesis-type Cerebral Palsy (CP) may present significant impairment of manual function. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) has been proven effective in improving manual function of the most affected upper limb and increasing its cortical representation. The association with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) shows biological plausibility in en…
Throughout its development, children acquire fundamental manual skills for their daily lives, such as reaching movements, whose control starts between 3 and 4 months. The performance of the reach movement already shows a distinction between the sides (right and left) when the child reaches 7 years of age. This distinction characterizes the definition of the child's laterality, in other wo…
Individuals with hereditary cerebellar ataxias show motor coordination and balance impairments, with consequent disorders of movements and repercussions in the upper limbs, generating functional limitations in daily activities. Until now, there is no tool considered as the gold standard for assessing and monitoring upper limbs in these patients. The aim of this study is to analyze the val…
Introduction: Functional incapacity after stroke related to the upper limb function remains in 75% of cases. The application of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) influences neuroplasticity and functional recovery. Its use is still controversial because of the response variability between individuals and the lack of a standardized tDCS protocol. Objective: To investigate how t…
