Study Summary
This study will be performed in patients with peripheral neuropathy who are walking independently, but have complains of balance problems such as recent falls or difficulty walking and show reduced vibratory and proprioceptive sensation during routine neurologic examination. These patients will be tested for proprioceptive and vibratory threshold at the toes and ankles before, during and after receiving anodal direct transcranial cortical stimulation (dTCS) over sensory and motor cortices. Subjects will be asked to participate in 2 sessions.
Primary Outcome
Vibration is measured by reading in Rydel Seiffer tuning fork that ranges between 0-8 and is a standard tool fro measuring vibration sensation at the toes. A reading of 0 means absent vibration. A reading of more than 4 at the toes are considered normal. Change between assessment at 20 minutes and 10 minutes at the toes will be assessed. A recording of less than 4 indicates an abnormal results and a lower number means worse neuropathy. For example, reading of 0 means absent vibration feeling whi
