The purpose of this study was to investigate the Effect of transcranial direct current stimulation convergence task-oriented training combined with vibration stimulation on hand dexterity and upper limb function in stroke patients. One time 30 minutes 5 times a week for 4 weeks. experimental group of transcranial direct current stimulation convergence task-oriented training combined with vibration stimulation and control group of the task-oriented training combined with vibration stimulation were divided into 10 members. Hand dexterity and upper limb recovery were measured. The experimental group and the control group showed significant improvement in hand dexterity and grasping(p<.05), grasping, and gross movement(p<.05). The experimental group showed a significant improvement in hand dexterity and grasp and grip than the control group. Effect size showed more than small effect in all evaluation items. Based on the results of this study, it is considered that more effective and efficient rehabilitation treatment can be performed in the clinic.
