Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate gait parameters in adults with diabetes after application of tDCS in the primary motor cortex region. It is expected to improve gait parameters such as speed (m/s), cadence (steps/min), stride length (meters), step length (meters), step duration (seconds), support phase (% of cycle), swing phase (% of the cycle), individual support, variable variability (coefficient of variation – CoV%) measured by Baiobit pre and post tDCS intervention | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assess cognitive performance. It is expected to improve cognitive performance (MoCA test) pre and post tDCS intervention;Assess static and dynamic balance. It is expected to improve static and dynamic balance (Berg Balance Scale) pre and post tDCS intervention;Evaluate the cognitive motor dual task. It is expected to reduce the cost of pre- and post-intervention tDCS dual-tasking | — |
