Summary

This research study aims to understand the relationship between brain stimulation and leg skill learning in both healthy adults and persons with chronic stroke.

Conditions

• Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
COMBINATION_PRODUCT	anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS)	Stroke participants will be randomly assigned into one of three groups: anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS), sham tDCS (s-tDCS), or control groups (i.e. no brain stimulation). Stroke participants in the first two groups will receive five sessions of the assigned brain stimulation combined with visuomotor stepping training over five consecutive days. Healthy adults will be randomly assignments into a-tDCS or s-tDCS groups.
