Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The hypothesis of this study is that the transcranial direct current stimulation combined with the physical training utilising the virtual reality will diminish participants spasticity which might lead to greater range of motion for these patients. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The spinal reflexes will be lower after the intervention with the transcranial direct current stimulation cathodal and the virtual reality leading to more relaxation. | — |
