A comparative study of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) combined with treadmill training and treadmill training only on walking speed and balance in chronic stroke patients: a double-blind randomized controlled trial.
Phase 4
Completed
- Conditions
- The effect of rTMS combined with other neurorehabilitation therapies is increasing area of research interest. The effects on walking speed and balance which are crucial for independent ambulation in chronic stroke patients are still inconclusive.non-invasive neuromodulation, stroke, walking speed, balance, transcranial magnetic stimulation
