Interventions
28 individuals, the participants will be distributed among four groups: Group 1: Sham LASER + sham tDCS combined with treadmill training
Group 2: Sham LASER + active tDCS combined with treadmill training
Group 3: Active LASER + sham tDCS combined with treadmill training
Group 4: Active LASER + active tDCS combined with treadmill training. Ten sessions will be held at a frequency of five sessions per week for two weeks. The volunteer will first receive either active

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Determine the effects of laser and tDCS over the affected primary motor cortex combined with treadmill training on velocity gait (m/s) in stroke survivors, measured by G-Walk, baseline, after 2 weeks and after 1 month of intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Determine the effects of laser and tDCS over the affected primary motor cortex combined with treadmill training on static balance in stroke survivors, measured by force plate (mm), baseline, after 2 weeks and after 1 month of intervention.;Determine the effects of laser and tDCS over the affected primary motor cortex combined with treadmill training on muscular activity measured by by electromyography (m/v), baseline, after 2 weeks and after 1 month of intervention,in stroke survivors. ;Determine the effects of laser and tDCS over the affected primary motor cortex combined with treadmill training on physical capacity measured by incremental cardiopulmonary (m/s), baseline, after 2 weeks and after 1 month of intervention,in stroke survivors. | — |
