Effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on dual-task performance in older and young adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis by Jibrin Sammani USMAN, Thomson Wai-Lung WONG, Shamay Sheung Mei NG

“…Results: The result revealed that real tDCS significantly reduced: dual-task cost (DTC) on gait speed (MD = 3.68, 95 %CI-1.04 to 6.33, P = 0.006), DTC on postural sway (PS) velocity (MD = -25.49, P < 0.00001), DTC on PS area (MD = -53.96, P < 0.00001), and significantly improved DT PS velocity (SMD = -0.61, P = 0.02), with low certainty of evidence post- experiment compared to sham tDCS in OA. However, in young adults, there was no significant difference post-experiment between real and sham tDCS on DT stride time variability (P = 0.18) and DTC on stride time variability (P = 0.34) with low certainty of evidence. …”
