RESEARCH PROJECT: 
In Progress
Using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to study motor system plasticity after intensive hand training in children with unilateral cerebral palsy

We use single-pulse TMS to determine which parts of the brain control hand movement, and how these regions change after an intensive hand training rehabilitation program.

RESEARCH PROJECT: 
In Progress
Using Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) to augment the effects of robotic training on hand function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy

This study will investigate whether the use of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) will improve the effectiveness of robotic training for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
