Summary

This study looks at whether a safe, low-intensity brain stimulation called tDCS can help people who have had a stroke learn to walk better. About 70 stroke survivors will receive the stimulation while practicing stepping and walking. Researchers will measure changes in walking speed, control, and brain activity to see if the treatment works.
