The present proposal involves an innovative randomized clinical trial with an international partnership to investigate the effects of a safe and low-cost transcranial electrical stimulation intervention (i.e., transcranial direct current stimulation - tDCS) combined with physical exercise in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). The study aims are (i) to analyze the effect of multipl…
Changes in postural control in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) are evidenced by increased body sway.Because postural control is poorly responsive to pharmacological treatment, complementary interventions such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), physical/motor exercise, and combinations of these therapies have been explored. Despite their promising results, controv…
Changes in postural responses during external perturbations represent a significant factor contributing to falls in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Given the limited effectiveness of pharmacological interventions in enhancing postural control, complementary therapies such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have been explored. While tDCS has shown positive effects…
People with Parkinson's disease (PD) demonstrate deficits in postural control evidenced by the increased center of pressure (CoP) sway and increased asymmetry between the limbs. These impairments are even more evident during challenging postural tasks, such as the adapted tandem position. Since postural control is not very responsive to pharmacological treatment, non-invasive intervention…
Posture maintenance employs predictive and reactive mechanisms. People with Parkinson's Disease (PD) have difficulty in controlling posture and habituating to external perturbation, due to the deficits in the processing performed in brain structures involved in motor control, such as basal ganglia, Supplementary Motor Area (SMA), primary motor (M1) and pre-frontal cortices. Postural contr…

Changes in static postural control are among the main causes of falls in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). These changes are especially evident in challenging situations, such as those involving the modulation of sensory information (e.g., restricted vision or somatosensory information). Postural sway assessment is usually performed using force plates. Due to the high cost of these …
