Summary
This study looks at whether a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can boost foot sensation and balance in older adults who have mild-to-moderate loss of feeling in their feet. About 20 people aged 65 and older who feel unsteady will receive the stimulation while researchers measure their balance, walking speed, and brain activity. The goal is to understand how the brain processes foot sensations and whether boosting that activity can help prevent falls.
