Background: Using conventional tDCS over the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) we previously reported that it is possible to manipulate subjective visual vertical (SVV) and postural control. We also demonstrated high-definition (HD-tDCS) can achieve substantially greater cortical stimulation focality than tDCS. However, critical establish dose-response effects using well-defined protocols with relevance clinically meaningful applications. Objective: To present feasibility, safety, tolerability...
Objective: Converging evidence supporting an effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on postural control and human verticality perception highlights this strategy as promising for post-stroke rehabilitation. We have previously demonstrated polarity-dependent effects high-definition tDCS (HD-tDCS) weight-bearing asymmetry. However, there is no investigation regarding the time-course induced by HD-tDCS protocols. Thus, we performed a nonlinear time series analysis focusing...
Aim : To assess the adaptive response of older adults with a history falls in single Perturbation-Based Balance Training (PBT) session by examining margin stability (MoS) and number falls. Methods Thirty-two underwent treadmill walking lasting 20–25 min. During PBT protocol, participants experienced 24 unexpected perturbations delivered two ways: acceleration or deceleration belt, 12 each direction. The MoS anteroposterior direction was assessed for first last session, during perturbation...
Different measurements of foot morphological characteristics can effectively predict muscle strength. However, it is still uncertain if structural and postural alterations leading to pronation could be compensated with more efficient function the intrinsic muscles how mobility strength are associated. Additionally, relationship between that control arch unclear. Therefore, this study aimed investigate parameters dominant non-dominant feet in recreational runners. We used a cross-sectional...
