Overview
The goal of this study is to compare motor learning rates on two different tasks, when combined with non-invasive brain stimulation.
Detailed description
We will apply transcranial random noise stimulation or sham stimulation. During tRNS, participants will complete a grasping task or a reaching task. Each participant will complete both tasks, with a wait period between each task. Task order will be randomized, such that half the group will begin with each task. We will compare task scored before vs. after tRNS, for each task. This will be a measure of motor learning.
Interventions
- Device transcranial random noise stimulation
This intervention will give children tRNS during reaching or grasping repetitive movements. - Device Sham stimulation
This intervention will give children sham stimulation during reaching or grasping repetitive movements.
Primary outcome measures
- Change in Grasp score [Time frame: Immediately before vs. Immediately after brain stimulation]
- Change in Reach score [Time frame: Immediately before vs. Immediately after brain stimulation]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Change in Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength, Prehension assessment (GRASSP) [Time frame: Immediately before vs. Immediately after brain stimulation]
- Change in score on second reaching task [Time frame: Immediately before vs. Immediately after brain stimulation]
