Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
stroke
Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
ishiyamato Rehabilitation Hospital
Brief Summary

In the first 4 weeks, the immediate ETMS-MT group showed significant greater gain on FMA (p = .003) compared to the delayed ETMS-MT group. In the latter 4 weeks, the delayed ETMS-MT group showed significant greater gain on A-ROM (p = 0.009) compared to the immediate ETMS-MT group. For the immediate ETMS-MT group, significant within-group improvements on FMA (p = 0.04), HR (p = 0.03), WMFT-time (p = 0.03) were seen between T0 and T1 measurement. For the delayed ETMS-MT group, significant within-group improvements on FMA (p = 0.03), A-ROM (p = 0.04), WMFT-time (p = 0.03) and WMFT-FAS (p = 0.03) were seen between T1 and T2 measurement.
