Treatments for Neurological Gait and Balance Disturbance: The Use of Noninvasive Electrical Brain Stimulation

Figure 4

(a) Averaged data for the 4 tango dances showing increased trunk velocity in coronal (roll) and sagittal (pitch) planes in the real tDCS sessions, compared to sham. (b) Individual data from patients with small vessel disease showing percentage change in gait velocity following real tDCS (red) and sham stimulation (blue). (c) Time taken to regain a pitch angular displacement of +/− 2 cm of baseline following a backward pull on the shoulders for tDCS with physical therapy, sham with physical therapy in patients with Parkinson’s disease, and healthy aged-matched controls.
