The purpose of this study was to determine:
With the decline of mobility comes a drastic increase in falling. However, people of all ages with cerebral palsy can fall easily due to imbalance issues and non-voluntary movements. Individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) can experience a variety of sensorimotor impairments that impact balance, making excessive tripping and falling among the most common concerns for ambulatory individuals with CP. Approximately 53-97% of ambulatory individuals fall at least once per year, causing injury, embarrassment, frustration, activity avoidance, and isolation. Although a study of over 1000 children found fall frequency was highest in gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) level II, research has not explored if this holds across the decades of adulthood.

| Transcranial direct current stimulation | Device | Transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) is a non-invasive, painless brain stimulation treatment that uses direct electrical currents to stimulate specific parts of the brain. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The Fall Risk test | The fall risk test allowed identification of potential fall candidates. Test results were compared to age dependent normative data. Scores higher than normative values suggested more fall risk index | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks |
