Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in the Treatment of Gait Disturbance in Post-Stroke Patients: An Overview of Systematic Reviews.

ABSTRACT: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising technique for brain modulation after a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). This treatment modality has been previously studied in the recovery of patients. The aim of this review is to analyse the evidence for the application of tDCS in the recovery of gait disturbance in stroke patients.
