Brief Summary:
Lower limb rehabilitation is especially important as the simple act of regaining the ability to walk has subsequent effects on the ability to engage in activities of daily living So this study will contribute in describing the management of lower limb motor recovery along with the therapeutic intervention MRP with tDCS anodal stimulation This study aims to address some of the drawbacks observed in previous studies like allocation concealment small sample size due to drop outs short term effects of tDCS and experimental designs as well
Detailed Description:
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation tDCS appears to be an intriguing adjuvant for stroke neurorehabilitation though there are many other methods available Depending on the polarity used tDCS alters cortical excitability when electrodes applied over the motor cortex area M1 to be stimulated and the cathode above the contralateral eye Orbital area tDCS thus termed anodal increases cortical excitability It is easy to use safe and has minimal side effects like a sensation of itching post-stimulation headache and sometimes mild nausea may experience Numerous research indicates that cortical activity rises in conjunction with gait According to a number of studies corticospinal neuron activity either parallels or possibly even partially regulates the activity of spinal motor neurons during walking There exist various techniques for implementing transcranial direct current stimulation in conjunction with multiple supplementary therapies
