The Impact TDCS-linked Motor and Cognitive Training Gains in Parkinson's Disease

This study is a group controlled clinical trial. Parallel study, patients aged 40-70 years, with Parkinson disease. Twelve sessions, three times a week, for 30 minutes, simultaneously to the rehabilitation program. Training will consist of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation linked dual-task exercises or dual-taks exercises with cognitive training, applied three times a week during four weeks. The investigators will used instruments: dual-task gait speed (Auditory Stroop Task ), executive function (Wisconsin Card Sorting Test , Auditory Stroop Test, Trail Making Test, Verbal Fluency Test and Montreal Cognitive Assessment), and, the objective is to examine task-dependency in enhancing the effects of tDCS-linked rehabilitation training on PD and the relationships between baseline outcomes in responders and non-responders to therapy.
