Concurrent exergaming and transcranial direct current stimulation to improve balance in people with Parkinson ’s disease: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
DiscussionThis will be the first trial to target balance in people with PD with combined exergaming and a-tDCS. We hypothesise that improvements in balance, functional and neurophysiological outcome measures, and neurocognitive outcome measures will be greater and longer-lasting following concurrent exergaming and a-tDCS than in those receiving sham tDCS or usual care.Trial registrationAustralian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry,ACTRN12616000594426).
