Summary

This study tested whether a self-administered, mild electrical brain stimulation technique (transcranial direct current stimulation) can improve walking in people with Parkinson's disease. Twenty-four participants used the device at home while performing walking tasks, both alone and while doing a second task. The goal was to see if the stimulation could make walking safer and easier.
