Brief Summary:
to investigate the effect of stimulation intensity on motor performance in healthy adults
Detailed Description:
60 healthy subjects were randomly allocated to one of three groups a 20-min of High-Definition transcranial direct current stimulation HD-tDCS with an intensity of 2 mA HD-tDCS 2 mA 2 20-min of HD-tDCS with an intensity of 15 mA HD-tDCS 15 mA and 3 20-min of sham HD-tDCS HD-tDCS sham The stimulation was administered noninvasively using an M x N 9-channel high definition transcranial electrical current stimulator from Soterix Medical New York NY The anodal stimulation targeted the right Brodmann area 4 primary motor cortex based on HD-Targets brain modelling software Soterix Medical New York NY
Tests The non-dominant left arm was tested The subjects performed a sequential point-to-point movement task on the graphics tablet Initially the participants were required to perform 3 sequences without errors to familiarize themselves with the setup the task and the sequence Then they performed the pre-test which consisted of two blocks of 6 sequences ie 12 sequences with a 30 s break between blocks Two min after starting the appropriate stimulation they performed 2 blocks of 6 sequences identical to the pre-test After finishing the tDCS stimulation the participants performed a post-test which was also identical to the pre-test The participants returned after 24 hours to perform a retention test which was equivalent to the pre- and post-tests Two outcome measures were used movement time s and the reaction time s of the reaching movements
