Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Balance (tDCS)
Postural control is an adaptive sensorimotor process involving continuous integration of sensory information from three channels. These; visual, somatosensory (proprioceptive) and vestibular senses. The study will be carried out at Istanbul Medipol University. 30 healthy individuals between the ages of 18-25 will be included. To each individual Anodal-supplementary motor area tDCS, Anodal-cerebellar tDCS, Sham tDCS applications will be cross-applied. tDCS application will take 20 minutes and each individual will receive 3 sessions in total. There will be a 72-hour rest period between sessions. Individuals assessed with Demographic Information Form for demographic information, Wii-Fit and Balance Error Scoring System for Static Balance Evaluation, Star Balance Test and Timed Get Up and Go Test for Dynamic Balance Assessment. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation applied on the supplementary motor area and cerebellum on static and dynamic balance in healthy individuals.
