The Effects of Two Types of t-DCS Stimulation on Robot-assisted Gait Training in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Sponsor: Istanbul Medeniyet University
Summary
The primary aim of this study is to determine the transcranial direct current stimulation and transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation in addition to robot-assisted walking training in individuals with Multiple sclerosis; to examine the effects on motor functions against each other and sham application. Secondary aim of this study is to show the relation of these effects with tDCS and ts-DCS through fatigue and quality of life evaluations.

Interventions
Transcutaneous Spinal Direct Current Stimulation and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
At the robot-assisted gait training, 20-minute gait training for the patient at an appropriate speed with the Locohelp Woodway device. The aim is to re-teach proper walking, gait cycle timing, and create a near-normal gait pattern through multiple repetitions. Robot-assisted gait training will be performed immediately following the stimulation applied to the patients.
