tDCS significantly improved static postural stability and dynamic postural control in older adults, enhancing safety.
Improvement was evident in metrics like single-leg stance time and center of pressure sway area during quiet standing.
Systematic review included 19 studies, with meta-analysis on 14, employing random-effects model for analysis.
Further high-quality research is needed to validate findings and optimize tDCS for fall prevention in the elderly.
