Brief Summary

Previous preliminary results are sufficiently impressive to suggest that tDCS stimulation does have the potential to improve motor function when that ability is trained during stimulation. In the proposed study, the investigation will assess whether walking sessions combined with tDCS lead to improvements in motor function: gait, articulation, eye gaze, and motor dexterity. In addition, the investigators wish to examine if such results can be replicated in people with other conditions, such as cortical basal syndrome, and Parkinson's disease.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: \- 1. Participants must be able to walk unassisted, or with the assistance of a walker or cane, and be individuals who walk daily. 2\. Participants should have a sufficient level of English to be able to express themselves verbally, be able to read and follow instructions. Exclusion Criteria: * 3\. Individuals with metal implants within the brain such as shunts will be excluded.
