Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation improves adaptive postural control

Adaptive postural control is essential for almost all aspects of every day life. Impaired postural control results in substantial functional limitations in advanced age (Maki and McIlroy, 1996) and in pathological ageing conditions like stroke (Beyaert et al., 2015), Parkinson's disease (Schoneburg et al., 2013) or multiple sclerosis (Huisinga et al., 2012). Although rehabilitation and conditioning programs have shown promising results in recovery of postural control, those interventions are typically time and cost intensive and may only yield moderate effects (Howard-Wilsher et al., 2016; Smania et al., 2011; Yitayeh and Teshome, 2016).
