In the researchers' words
This study will compare different polarities of transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation combined with robotic-assisted arm training (RAT) in adults with acquired brain injury (ABI). Participants will receive 20 minutes of 2.5 milliamps (mA) anodal, cathodal, and sham transpinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) over cervical spine combined with high intensity robotic-assisted arm training, five days a week, for 2 consecutive weeks.
