This study investigates the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on walking ability and brain activity. Transcranial direct current stimulation is a way to send a small electrical current to the brain through the scalp. The study will look at how this stimulation affects people with Huntington's disease and those without the condition.
Participants will undergo procedures involving tDCS while resting and while making a gentle effort to move a leg muscle. The goal is to see how this affects their walking and brain activity. The study will compare results between healthy individuals and those with Huntington's disease.
- Who can participate: Participants must be able to walk at their own speed for up to 25 minutes. Individuals with neurological disorders, a family history of Huntington's disease, or certain medical conditions like heart or respiratory disease cannot participate. Additional exclusion criteria include CNS surgery, seizures, stroke, orthopedic conditions, and pregnancy.
- Study details: Participants will receive transcranial direct current stimulation and may be asked to perform simple tasks.
