  • First ever clinical manifest stroke.
  • No or minimal residual voluntary finger extension.
  • Upper limb FM score \< 20.
  • Age \> 18 years.
  • Right or left severe hemiparesis.
  • Ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke with intact hand knob area.

Exclusion

  • Patient with an active implantable device or wearing an active device.
  • Occurrence of new clinically manifest stroke.
  • Cerebellar stroke.
  • Drug or alcohol dependency.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Refusal to perform any proposed pregnancy test for women in childbearing age (18 to menopausal age).
  • Psychotic symptoms and significant psychopharmacologic treatments with neuroleptics and/or Lithium and antiepileptics
  • Use of medication that significantly interacts with non-invasive brain stimulation being benzodiazepines, tricyclic antidepressant and antipsychotics.
  • Severe spasticity that prevent the patient to use the robotic orthosis (indicative Modified Ashworth Scale \> 3).
