About

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of short-term braking on the motor learning and fine motor skills of healthy adults, and to analyze whether transcranial direct current stimulation can alleviate the effects of braking on motor learning and fine motor skills.

Full description

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of 16-hour short-term immobilization on the motor learning and fine motor skills of healthy adults, and to analyze whether transcranial direct current stimulation intervention can alleviate the effects of immobilization on motor learning and fine motor skills.
