Clinical improvement with intensive robot-assisted arm training in chronic stroke is unchanged by supplementary tDCS.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study confirms the benefit of intensive robot-assisted training in stroke recovery, and indicates that conventional tDCS does not confer further advantage to robotic training. We also showed that corticospinal integrity, as assessed by TMS, is a predictor of clinically meaningful response to intensive arm therapy in chronic stroke.
