Study Summary

This trial aims to measure how touch signals travel from the fingers to the brain in young adults and in individuals with and without stroke.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for right-handed young adults aged 18-23 without musculoskeletal or neurological conditions, and individuals who have had a single stroke incident with a unilateral lesion, are in the chronic phase (>1 year post-stroke), and were over 18 at stroke onset. Participants must be able to give informed consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study measures how touch signals travel from the finger through the nervous system to the brain in both healthy young adults and those who have experienced a stroke. It aims to understand this process in typical conditions as well as after a stroke.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves tactile stimulation, there may not be significant side effects. However, discomfort or skin irritation at the site of stimulation could occur.
