Learning Objectives:

Describe the rationale for combining anodal transcranial direct current stimulation with eccentric strengthening in ACL-reconstructed individuals. Compare these findings to prior research on neuromodulation and eccentric training in populations with chronic ankle instability, identifying key differences in methodology and participant characteristics. Interpret how eccentric training impacted functional measures regardless of transcranial direct current application.
