7. Conclusion
The findings in the current study indicate that MI training combined with tDCS over the cerebellum interventions for 4 weeks can improve static and dynamic balance in middle-aged women with high fall risk. Clinicians and practitioners may consider MI training combined with tDCS as a less physically demanding method for improving balance and reducing fall risk in older adults. Moreover, the results also indicate that 4 weeks of MI training is not sufficient to improve balance indexes in older adults with high fall risk. Further research on the effectiveness of MI training and tDCS alone on balance indexes in middle-aged women is warranted. Improvements in study design could include an investigation in the MI and tDCS alone with larger sample size and longer intervention program.
