Study Summary
The tDCS \& Dual Tasking study will compare the effects of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) targeting three different cortical regions (as well as sham stimulation) on dual task standing and walking in older adults with and without a recent history of recurrent falls.
Primary Outcome
The dual task cost to standing postural sway speed will be calculated from trials of standing with and without simultaneous performance of a serial subtraction cognitive task. The dual task cost will be calculated as the percent change in sway speed from single- to dual-task conditions.
