Participants were randomized to receive 15 sessions of dual-site (M1\u202f+\u202fDLPFC) anodal tDCS, tACS, or sham stimulation, all administered concurrently with CMDT. Primary outcomes included cognitive performance (Visual Cognitive Assessment Test, VCAT) and physical function (Fugl-Meyer Lower Limb, FMA-LE). Secondary outcomes comprised the Trail-Making Test (TMT-A\/B), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go (TUG) under single and dual-task conditions, and the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). Data were analyzed using ANOVA with Bonferroni-adjusted pairwise comparisons.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Significant group\u202f\u00d7\u202ftime interactions were observed across multiple functional domains. The tDCS\u202f+\u202fCMDT group showed superior improvements in FMA-LE scores vs. both tACS\u202f+\u202fCMDT and sham\u202f+\u202fCMDT (post-hoc\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt;\u202f0.05 each), but in BBS scores only vs. sham\u202f+\u202fCMDT (p\u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.05).
