Does interventional Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation provided improved movement control after suffering a stroke?
A modern and scientifically valid treatment technique for stroke patients is the use of Biofeedback and functional electrical stimulation (FES) during exercise therapy, to improve the control of limbs. These techniques are now common practice for rehabilitation specialists, and have proven clinical outcomes. Such techniques are now being combined with magnetic brain stimulation which may act to prime the brain for enhanced motor re-learning and ultimately lead to improved motor function and greater quality of life.
