Sponsor's own description

Older adults often have difficulty performing complex walking tasks leading to increased fall incidence and subsequent injury. Even in the best clinical settings, it may not be possible for patients or clinicians to dedicate the time and financial resources needed to enact lasting improvements. The study will investigate the use of non-invasive brain stimulation and motor imagery practice within participants homes to assess study design feasibility and potential for mobility improvement.
