- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The main outcome of this research is to analyze whether transcranial direct current stimulation is capable of enhancing the effects of static and dynamic proprioceptive exercises on the aspects of gait and balance in children and pre-adolescents with acquired or congenital visual impairment. Such findings are intended to provide greater functional independence and, consequently, greater quality of life for the visually impaired population through the development of increasingly effective methods of assessment and treatment.
