Immediate Effects of Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Postural Stability Using Computerized Dynamic Posturography in People With Chronic Post-stroke Hemiparesis

Transcranial direct current stimulation for gait recovery following stroke: A systematic review of current literature and beyond

“…The number of active sessions varied from 1 to 20 tDCS active sessions at intensities of 2 mA in all cases and current densities between 0.05 and 0.22 mA/cm 2 . In three of these six studies, stimulation was combined with concomitant rehabilitation during participation in the protocol and also online rehabilitation during tDCS delivery ( 45 , 51 , 52 ); in one of them, online rehabilitation was combined during tDCS sessions in the absence of any associated concurrent rehabilitation program during the participation in the protocol ( 46 ). Finally, two studies applied tDCS without online concurrent rehabilitation during tDCS or any other type of rehabilitation ( 38 , 59 ).…”

Postural control of Parkinson’s disease: A visualized analysis based on Citespace knowledge graph

“…Following a comparison of the short-and long-term effects of DBS on gait and related major symptoms in PD patients, Brozova et al (2021) found that short-term DBS treatment was similar to dopamine medication in improving gait and postural instability, whereas gait improvement was significantly reduced after long-term or high-frequency DBS treatment, even with deleterious effects on gait function. Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) is a safe and effective treatment modality (Liang et al, 2020). The most widely used non-invasive brain stimulation techniques are repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), both of which have been applied in the rehabilitation of balance and postural control with PD.…”

“…The most widely used non-invasive brain stimulation techniques are repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), both of which have been applied in the rehabilitation of balance and postural control with PD. It has been demonstrated that using tDCS to target the primary motor cortex (M1) and motor cortex leg areas improves perturbation response and postural stability (Beretta et al, 2020;Liang et al, 2020), but the choice of stimulation target can have a large variation on the treatment effect. The cerebellar region is functional tissue that play an important role in anticipatory postural adjustment (APA) during gait initiation, as well as in the coupling of lower limb muscle activation patterns (Richard et al, 2017).…”

Transcranial direct current stimulation for balance rehabilitation in neurological disorders: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…The studies were published from 2011 to 2021. Of the 37 included studies, 19 were conducted with people with stroke (Andrade et al, 2017;Babyar et al, 2018Babyar et al, , 2016Chang et al, 2015;Coppens et al, 2019;Danzl et al, 2013;Fruhauf et al, 2017;Geroin et al, 2011;Liang et al, 2020;Madhavan et al, 2020;Manji et al, 2018;Ojardias et al, 2020;Prathum et al, 2021;Saeys et al, 2015;Seo et al, 2017;Sohn et al, 2013;Tahtis et al, 2014;Yang et al, 2021;Zandvliet et al, 2018), 10 with PD (Beretta et al, 2020b;Costa-Ribeiro et al, 2017;Forogh et al, 2018;Kaski et al, 2014bKaski et al, , 2014aLattari et al, 2017;Lu et al, 2018;Manenti et al, 2016;Verheyden et al, 2013;Workman et al, 2020), three with cerebellar ataxia (Barretto et al, 2019;Benussi et al, 2015;Grimaldi and Manto, 2013), one with multiple sclerosis (Costa et al, 2020), one with vestibular dysfunction (Saki et al, 2020), one with Mal de debarquement syndrome (Cha et al, 2016), one with Leukoaraiosis (Kaski et al, 2013), and one with Spinal cord injury (Raithatha et al, 2016). Regarding the target area, 26 studies applied active tDCS (anodal current) over motor cortex ...…”
