Purpose: This study aimed to assess the proprioception of knee joint status under conditions of muscle and mental fatigue through transcranial direct current stimulation (tdcs).
Methods: The research design was a quasi-experimental study, with a statistical population of 14 male students (mean age 24.07 ± 3.8) selected through purposive sampling. Participants underwent tDCS twice after experiencing fatigue conditions, with direct electrical stimulation applied in anodal and sham modes. Proprioception of knee joint angle was measured using an isokinetic device. Data analysis was conducted using the repeated measures ANOVA and t tests (P<0.05).
Results: Analysis using repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant effect of direct electrical brain stimulation on knee proprioception under mental fatigue conditions (P=0.037). Additionally, a comparison of anodal and sham stimulation showed that anodal stimulation was more effective (P=0.19).
Conclusion: Our results showed that the tDCS anodal stimulation may serve as a valuable adjunct intervention to enhance knee proprioception under conditions of mental fatigue.
