Individuals with stroke often have problems with hand and arm function that affect their activities of daily living. Also, most individuals who have had a stroke do not have long-term rehabilitation support after they leave the hospital. Therefore, the investigators aim to study how well a program of brain stimulation and hand exercises can be delivered at  home, and how it may improve arm function in people with stroke. The program combines brain stimulation and hand exergaming using a wearable device for improving hand and arm functions.
