Abstract

Background and Aims: Brain electrical stimulation is a low-cost stimulant technique, which has attracted the attention of many researchers in recent decades. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of one session transcranial direct current simulation on postural control of disabled athletes with lower limp amputees.
Materials and Methods: In the present study, participants included 45 disabled athletes with lower limb amputees, aged 30-45. Two experimental groups were exposed to electrical stimulation for 2 mA for 20 minutes, and one control group was exposed to sham transcranial direct current simultion. Then, all groups were evaluated by SOT postural control to exposed variables in sensory organizing test. Data were analyzed using ONE way ANOVA to test the difference in the significance of the variables and Bonfrrons post hoc test was used to adjust significance level of multiple comparisons (p˂0/05).
Results: Findings showed that brain electrical stimulation had a significant effect on the improvement pf postural control in athletes with lower limb amputees in both experimental groups in all six values Equilibrium compared to those in the control group.
Conclusion: According to the results of the current study, one session transcranial direct current simultion can improve kinetic postural control parameters in athletes with lower limb amputees
