Dual-task Training Combined With tDCS on Cognitive-motor Performance and Brain Activity in Stroke Patients
The Effect of Dual-task Training Combined With tDCS on Cognitive-motor Interference and Related Brain Activity in Stroke Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 14 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to evaluate the effects of tDCS combined with cognitive-motor training on dual-task interference during walking and foot pedaling, alongside corresponding alterations in brain activity assessed via fNIRS. Additionally, an fMRI component was conducted as a nested sub-study for deep mechanistic exploration.
