Summary

This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can make walking and thinking training more effective for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. About 184 adults aged 50+ will get either real or fake stimulation before each training session, 12 times over 3 weeks. Researchers will measure improvements in walking speed while doing mental tasks, balance, and daily activities.
