Combined (Robotic balance training and high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation)
The robotic platform will train the participants to maintain dynamic balance in the sagittal and transverse planes (mediolateral and anterior-posterior directions) and engage in core stability and trunk control with seated balance exercises. In addition, high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) will be used as an adjuvant to robotic balance training by priming the corticospinal circuits.
Standard of Care Balance Training
Participants in this group will receive a standard-of-care balance training (dose matched to the experimental group) administered by the Physical therapist.
