In the researchers' words
Patients with stroke have demonstrated abnormal muscle tone and postural control ability which affect their ambulation, activity of daily living and confident. Nowadays, utilizing repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and robotic machines to assist walking training for stroke patients has been applied to clinic widely. While less studies have compared intervention efficacy for stroke patients between rTMS and robotic training. This study aimed to compare effect of rTMS and robotic training for lower-extremity function and gait in stroke patients.
