Recovery of upper-limb function due to enhanced use-dependent plasticity in chronic stroke patients
ABSTRACT Patients with chronicstroke often show increased flexor hypertonia in their affected upper limbs. Although an intervention strategy targeting the extensors of the affected upper limb might thus be expected to have benefits for functional recovery, conventional repetitive motor training has limited clinical utility. Recent studies have shown that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation could induce motor recovery. The present study ... Read more
