简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)applied over the lower extremity motor cortex in conjunction with treadmill training is effective for improving gait in patients with subacute stroke and to evaluate the effect and predictive value of a single session of anodal tDCS.
