Summary

This study is testing whether a mild electrical current applied to the spine (called tsDCS) can improve leg reflexes, walking, and balance in people who have leg weakness after a stroke. About 100 adults who had a stroke more than 6 months ago will attend at least 15 sessions over 4 months. The goal is to understand how this stimulation affects movement, not to provide a treatment.
