Anodal tDCS over the primary motor cortex improves motor imagery benefits on postural control: A pilot study

Abstract Performing everyday actions requires fine postural control, which is a major focus of functional rehabilitation programs. Among the various range of training methods likely to improve balance and postural stability, motor imagery practice (MIP) yielded promising results. Transcranial direct...
