*Indicates p < 0.05 between the pretest and posttest within each group and for each condition;
Indicates p < 0.05 for the interaction effect, group effect, or time effect;
Indicates p < 0.05 between four groups at pretest or posttest. ES: effect size; G1, tDCS group; G2, sham tDCS group; G3, tDCS with balance training group; G4, sham tDCS with balance training group; tDCS, transcranial direct current stimulation; ANT, anterior reach; PM, posteromedial reach; PL, posterolateral reach; COMP, composite reach.
