Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Aided Rehabilitation of Gait in Subacute Stroke
February 4, 2017 updated by: Krystian Figlewski, University of Aarhus
The purpose of this study is to determine if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)applied over the lower extremity motor cortex in conjunction with treadmill training is effective for improving gait in patients with subacute stroke and to evaluate the effect and predictive value of a single session of anodal tDCS.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: anodal tDCS with treadmill training
Each subject will receive 4 weeks gait treadmill training at least 3 days per week in combination with anodal transcranial Direct Current Stimulation over the primary motor cortex up to 20 min
|
A direct current runs between two electrode positions and affects the excitability of the underlying brain tissue

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Changes in cortical excitability measures
Time Frame: Baseline
|
We will measure cortical excitability using single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) before and after 1st stimulation session.
We will compare the measurements from before stimulation to after stimulation.

Baseline
|
Dynamometry: the maximal isometric force of muscles will be assessed by Biodex System 3 PRO dynamometer
Time Frame: Baseline and immediately following the 4 weeks intervention
