Clinical Comparison between HD-tDCS and tDCS for Improving Upper Limb Motor Function: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Sham-Controlled Trial

Figure 3

Clinical scales for patients at different time points. The UEFM and MAS scores improved after HD-tDCS or a-tDCS treatment compared with those after sham treatment. r < 0.05. HD-tDCS, high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation; a-tDCS, anodal transcranial direct current stimulation; UEFM, Fugl–Meyer score for the upper extremity; MAS, motor function assessment scale; MBI, modified Barthel index; ARAT, action research arm test; and ns, not significant.
