Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve walking and other motor skills in people with progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal syndrome, or Parkinson's disease. Twenty participants will receive both real and sham stimulation during walking sessions to see if the real treatment leads to faster walking, clearer speech, and better hand control. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to ease movement symptoms.
