Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Arm 1:tDCS
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) Participants underwent tDCS(2mA) brain stimulation (20 minutes) and simultaneous balance training(20 minutes) for 5 consecutive days
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
Participants underwent tDCS(2mA) brain stimulation for 20 minutes plus balance training for 20 minutes for 5 consecutive days.
Arm 2: Sham tDCS
Sham tDCS and simultaneous balance training(20 minutes) for 5 consecutive days
Sham tDCS
During sham stimulation, the current ramped up for 30 seconds, ramped back down for 30 seconds, and then remained off for the duration of the stimulation plus balance training for 20 minutes for 5 consecutive days.
