DEVICE

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

The anode electrode will be placed at the midline of the Cz according to international 10-20 EEG system, and the cathode electrode will be placed at the midline of forehead. In this way, both hemisphere of motor cortex can be stimulated which is used as protocol in various balance studies (Siedel-Marzi and Ragert, 2020b; Saruco et al., 2017). Participants will continue their training with tDCS (2mA) for 20 minutes. This application will continue three times a week for four weeks. In the end of the study, participants will be asked to guess which group they were in (active or sham).
