Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with classic motor symptoms such as bradykinesia, rest tremor, muscle rigidity, postural instability, and gait disturbances. They result in reduced gait speed, decreased stride length, increased axial stiffness, and decreased pace that together can trigger difficulties in performing turning. As gait disorders are poorly responsive to levodopa therapy, investigations of additional treatments such as physiotherapy and neuromodulation are of utmost importance. The transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) consists of a low intensity electrical current capable of altering the cortical excitability, but its application still brings divergent results and there are no studies that verified the effectiveness of TDCS in turning gait. |
