Shocking the core: new combo therapy aims to unlock trunk power after stroke

This study tests whether pairing a gentle brain-stimulation technique (transcranial direct current stimulation) with core stability exercises can improve trunk performance, balance, and daily mobility in people who have had a stroke. The trial will enroll 60 adults aged 55 or older who had a stroke within the past six months and can already stand and walk independently. The goal is to see if this combination approach helps them move better and reduce fall risk.
