This clinical trial aims to investigate whether transcranial electrical stimulation combined with transcranial magnetic stimulation has an impact on the cognitive and motor functions of stroke patients, and to evaluate the safety of this protocol. The main objective is to answer the following question: Can electromagnetic combined stimulation of the left Dorsolateral prefrontal lobe(DLPFC) improve the performance of working memory, motor function and cognitively motor dual tasks in stroke patients? What is its mechanism of action? Researchers will compare the effects of real electromagnetic combined stimulation with fake (placebo) stimulation to see if the real stimulation can bring better results to patients. Participants will: undergo a combined real or false electromagnetic stimulation of 20 minutes of transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS) and 40 seconds of Transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS) once a day for 7 days. Clinical evaluations (cognitive and motor scales) and functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy(fNIRS) were conducted before and after stimulation to record relevant brain activities
