Summary

The tDCS \& Dual Tasking study will compare the effects of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) targeting three different cortical regions (as well as sham stimulation) on dual task standing and walking in older adults with and without a recent history of recurrent falls.

Conditions

  • Aging

Interventions

OTHER

transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

There will be three different tDCS targets as well as a sham stimulation condition. The stimulation for each of these conditions will be delivered via 6 already-placed gel electrodes on the participant's scalp with different combinations of current intensities among all the electrodes.
