Acupuncture, tDCS, and NDT-BOBATH rehabilitation were performed for 30 minutes per time, respectively. The number of intervention was held for about a month, five times a week(a total of 20 times).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change of Korean version of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale(K-FMA) score
The FMA is a validated, instrument assessing average motor function of upper and lower extremity. Possible scores range from 0(worst motor function) to 212(best motor function). Change= (Week 4 Score - Baseline Score).
Change of brain activity
The fNIRS(functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy) is a imaged, instrument assessing average brain activity. Change= (Week 4 Score - Baseline Score).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change of Korean version of Modified Barthel Index(K-MBI) score
The MBI is a validated, instrument assessing average level of ADL(activity of daily living). Possible scores range from 0(maximal independence) to 100(minimal independence). Change= (Week 4 Score - Baseline Score).
