Advance in Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Patients with Upper Extremity Motor Dysfunction after Stroke (review) / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can achieve neuroplasticity through repeated stimulation of specific cortex, and may be in the ways of inter-hemisphere inhibition or compensation, or both. The various combination of frequency, intensity and duration of stimulation may effect the upper limb function after stroke in different ways.
