Study of cerebral cortex activation effect during weight-bearing standing-shaking-board exercise in combination with electrical muscle stimulation and tDCS
Description: Falls in the elderly are influenced not only by a decline in motor function but also by a decline in the ability to perform double tasks. To prevent falls and fractures associated with aging, the dual task training can be used as postural balance training to improve not only physical functions but also attentional abilities. Instead of the dual task training, the use of transcranial direct current stimulation, which directly stimulates the brain, in combination with electrical stimulation standing-shaking-board exercise, which afferently transmits stimulation to the brain and promotes brain plasticity, can increase cortical activity and improve balance and cognitive functions.
