Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation
Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) will be applied during 25 minutes at 2 mA of intensity. Anodal electrode will be positioned 1 cm below inion and cathodal electrode at right deltoid muscle.
Treadmill locomotor training
The Treadmill Locomotor Training (TLT) will be performed through speed and step length progression protocol for 25 minutes and combined to ctDCS
Sham Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation
Sham Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS sham) will be applied during 30 seconds at 2 mA of intensity. Anodal electrode will be positioned 1 cm below inion and cathodal electrode at right deltoid muscle. However, subjects will keep the placement of electrodes for 25 minutes to ensure stimulation's masking.
Cerebello-spinal direct current stimulation
Cerebello-spinal transcranial direct current stimulation (csDCS) will be applied during 25 minutes at 2 mA of intensity. The anode was placed on the scalp over the cerebellum area (1 cm below the inion) and the cathode over the spinal lumbar enlargement (2 cm under T11)
