When the data were analysed according to disability, participants with moderate/severe disability showed significantly improved gross motor function following cathodal stimulation compared with sham (P=0.014). However, this was accompanied by decreased key grip strength in the unaffected hand (P=0.003). We are unable to endorse the use of anodal and cathodal tDCS in the management of upper limb dysfunction in chronic stroke patients. Although there appears to be more potential for the use of cathodal stimulation in patients with severe disability, the effects were small and must be considered with caution as they were accompanied by unanticipated effects in the unaffected upper limb.]]> Wed 24 Nov 2021 15:53:29 AEDT ]]> Anodal direct current stimulation in the healthy aged: effects determined by the hemisphere stimulated https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20999 p < 0.01) but did not produce significant changes in the dominant hand on any measure (p > 0.05). This effect occurred irrespective of the hemisphere stimulated. Stimulation did not produce significant effects on measures of gross function, grip strength, reaction times, or electrophysiological measures on the EEG data. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the hemispheres respond differently to anodal stimulation and the response appears to be task specific but not mediated by age.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:01:16 AEST ]]> Functional brain maps of Tower of London performance: a positron emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging study https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:1711 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:27:39 AEDT ]]> Functional MRI BOLD response to Tower of London performance of first-episode schizophrenia patients using cortical pattern matching https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:1772 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:27:35 AEDT ]]> Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS): does it have merit in stroke rehabilitation?: a systematic review https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:21853 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:30 AEDT ]]>
