- Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentIntervention Model Description: The present study will be conducted in over 15 recruiting centers with a randomized double-blind design. Post-stroke patients will be randomly assigned to 3 parallel groups: Control Group (neuromotor training and sham stimulation), Experimental Group 1 (neuromotor training and cathodal tDCS over the unaffected hemisphere), Group 2 (neuromotor training and anodal tDCS over the affected hemisphere). Participants will be further partitioned on the basis of the acute/subacute and subacute/chronic stages (7-90 and 91 days from lesion onset, respectively).Masking: Double (Participant, Outcomes Assessor)Masking Description: Both participants and experimenters will be prevented from having knowledge of the assigned stimulation protocol. To do so, the investigator will create a series of numbers paired with real and sham interventions while the outcome assessor will be aware of the patient-number association only.Primary Purpose: Treatment
