Inclusion Criteria

  • All participants will be aged over 18 years and have a diagnosis of idiopathic PD using the UK Brain Bank criteria. Additional inclusion criteria will comprise: being able to walk 100m independently with or without gait aids; rated stage I-IV on the Hoehn and Yahr disability scale (Hoehn and Yahr 1967); and report reduced step length or slowed gait speed, confirmed by clinical examination.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Participants will be excluded if they have metal objects or stimulators in the head that might pose a hazard during tDCS; neurological conditions other than PD; musculoskeletal or cardiopulmonary conditions that affect the ability to safely walk; score < 24 on the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE; Folstein et al 1975) or sensory system pathology affecting walking or communication (e.g. blindness, deafness).
