Objective: Describe the results of an intervention protocol involving anodal stimulation over the primary motor cortex combined with treadmill training in a child<br>with cerebral palsy. Method: The intervention was comprised of ten sessions of anodal tDCS (1mA) over the primary<br>motor cortex during the treadmill training. Stabilometric analysis was evaluated one week before and one week after<br>the intervention. Results: A reduction in oscillations of the COP was found under both conditions (eyes opened and<br>eyes closed. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that anodal tDCS over primary motor cortex can potentiate the results<br>of treadmill training.</p> ER -
