Overview

Randomized controlled trial assesses balance function in elderly using tDCS and virtual reality training, indicating potential for improved postural stability.

Key Points

  • Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation combined with virtual reality training notably enhances balance and postural stability in elderly participants.
  • The study involves 64 older adults who will be allocated to either the experimental or control group at a 1:1 ratio to assess fall risk.
  • A randomized controlled trial protocol will measure outcomes at 0, 4, 8, and 12 weeks, focusing on postural stability and fall prevention.
  • The findings may lead to innovative treatment strategies for improving balance and preventing falls in older adults.
