Document Summary
Lecture 6: rtms & topic #2 rtms pegboard task. Pegboard task: place ts into spots that are allocated to it which requires fine precision control. Very sensitive in looking at motor recovery following a stroke. All subjects had unilateral strokes with impairment in the left cerebral hemisphere lesion. Sham group is provide rtms to the top pole of the head which splits at the midline and is considered the control condition. One group received 5 hz stimulation to the left hemisphere. The other group received 1hz stimulation to the left hemisphere. Hertz are denoting how frequently something is happening (1hz is one every second)(5hz is 5 stimuli over one second). The stimulation of the hz was over the patients head before the task. Over 7 continuous days they received the manipulation of 1 hz or 5hz, received stimulation for 20 minutes. Measured the participants 2 days, 5 days, then months after.
