Summary

This study tested whether adding a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) to physical therapy could improve walking, balance, and leg strength in people who had a stroke. 34 adults with sub-acute or chronic stroke participated. The goal was to see if this combination helps them move better and recover more function.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age range 20-75 years * First ever-ischemic lesion in the territory of middle cerebral artery or anterior cerebral artery. Diagnostic confirmation will be performed by CT scan or MRI * Sub-acute onset (1-6 months after the stroke onset) or Chronic (6 months - 5 years) * Able to walk without physical assistance at least 6 meters Exclusion Criteria: * Not cooperative or cannot understand the instruction * Clinical unstable such as vital sign unstable (systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 185 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 110 mmHg (98) and resting heart rate averaging ≥ 100 bpm (99)) * No clear neurological antecedent history or psychiatric disorder * Moderate pain in any joint of both lower limb (Pain Scale (VAS) ≥ 4/10) * Unstable medical conditions such as being in the middle of changing medical treatment. * Condition that may increase the risk of stimulation such as epilepsy, pregnancy, unexplained headaches, intracranial metal, pacemaker (evaluating by subjective examination). * Participate in the other protocol or receive alternative treatment such as transcranial magnetic stimulation within 1 month.
