Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)applied over the lower extremity motor cortex in conjunction with assisted gait training is effective for improving gait in patients with chronic stroke.

Conditions

  • Stroke
  • Cerebral Vascular Accident

Interventions

DEVICE

transcranial direct current stim (tDCS)

During anodal tDCS, participants will receive 20 min at 2mA over motor cortex (with 30 seconds of ramp-up and ramp-down). During sham stimulation the stimulator is turned off.
