Combining transcranial direct current stimulation with a motor-cognitive task: the impact on dual-task walking costs in older adults

Combining transcranial direct current stimulation with a motor-cognitive task: the impact on dual-task walking costs in older adults

Abstract Background The performance of a secondary task while walking increases motor-cognitive interference and exacerbates fall risk in older adults. Previous studies have demonstrated that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may improve certain types of dual-task performance, and, that...
