The Effect of rPMS on Motor Skill Performance in Persons With a Stroke.

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Stroke

In brief

In the past two decades, even as stroke cases increase around the world, advances in motor rehabilitation have been limited. Clinical trials of stroke rehabilitation have examined the therapeutic utility of several neuromodulatory devices to improve efficacy of motor training. However, there is limited knowledge on the effects of sensory-based priming techniques using repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) post stroke. This project focuses on understanding the effect of rPMS on motor skill performance in persons with stroke.
