ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Stroke is a clinical syndrome that can cause neurological disorders due to a reduction or interruption in the blood flow at the brain level. Transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) is a non-invasive electrotherapy technique with the ability to modulate the function of nervous tissue.

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of this review is to analyze the effects derived from the application of the TDCS for post-stroke patients on functionality and mobility.

METHODS:

The data search was conducted in PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus between July and August 2023. The search focused on randomized clinical trials conducted in the period of 2019-2023, and according to the selection criteria, seven studies were obtained.

RESULTS:

The results found are mainly focused on the analysis of the scales Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity and Wolf Motor Function Test.

CONCLUSION:

The application of TDCS presents benefits in post-stroke individuals on functionality, mobility and other secondary studied variables.
