Summary

This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) given during a supervised Nordic walking program can improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. Forty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either real or fake stimulation while completing the same walking sessions three times a week for four weeks. The main goal is to see if the combination helps people walk faster and feel steadier, reducing fall risk.
