Brief Summary:
The present study seeks to examine the efficacy of multi-session transcranial direct current stimulation applied over the primary motor cortex in people with Parkinsons disease on sequential motor learning performance
Detailed Description:
Parkinsons disease is characterised by deficits of motor control triggered by impaired basal ganglia function such as bradykinesia and tremor Beyond the visibly recognisable motor symptoms of Parkinsons disease the ability to learn a sequence of movements is also compromised and poses a significant barrier to effective rehabilitation In healthy individuals transcranial direct current stimulation applied over the primary motor cortex during motor task practice has been shown to significantly improve motor learning compared to placebo conditions
The present study seeks to examine the effect of multi-session transcranial direct current stimulation applied over the primary motor cortex in people with Parkinsons disease on sequential motor learning performance Participants will be required to attend eight laboratory sessions comprising five intervention and three assessment sessions and will be tested on their ability to learn a 16-digit finger tapping sequence with their right hand Sessions one to five will form the intervention and will be performed at the same time on consecutive days ie mon-fri In addition session one will double as a baseline assessment and intervention session Assessments sessions will be performed once before the intervention session one and three times following the intervention on day three one week and four weeks post intervention
