Who might be able to join this trial:
- Adults (aged 18 or older) who have weakness or limited movement on one side of the body as a result of a stroke.
- The stroke must have occurred at least 6 months ago.
- Scores on a specific arm movement test called the Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity scale must fall within a particular range (above 11 and up to 56), indicating a moderate level of arm impairment (confirm with trial site).
- People who had little to no disability before their stroke, based on a standard disability rating scale (a score below 3 on the Modified Rankin Scale).

- People who are unable to understand and follow instructions.
- People who have certain implanted medical devices near the head, such as a cochlear implant (a hearing device), an internal pulse generator, or a medical pump, as these may interfere with the brain stimulation treatment used in the trial.
