Details and patient eligibility

About

20 healthy subjects will be split into 4 groups. Each group will receive one of the following tDCS montages : anodal, bilateral, cathodal or placebo Subjects will receive 2mA for 20 mins of their attributed tDCS. The evaluation is a maximal strength test measured with the IOPI and will take place prior to, immediately following and 30 minutes after stimulation

Enrollment: 20 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 50 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
