Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over primary motor cortex leg area promotes dynamic balance task performance

Highlights • Anodal tDCS over primary motor cortex leg area promotes dynamic balance performance and decreases error scores. • Improvement in balance performance can be predicted by the kinematic profile of the movement. • TDCS strengthens the relationship between dynamic balance performance and the...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Anodal tDCS over primary motor cortex leg area promotes dynamic balance performance and decreases error scores. • Improvement in balance performance can be predicted by the kinematic profile of the movement. • TDCS strengthens the relationship between dynamic balance performance and the kinematic variable velocity.
