Summary

To use repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat stroke patients is getting a popular idea. Previous studies seemed to support its effects on facilitating motor recovery after stroke. This study focuses on the motor recovery of lower extremities. Investigators conducted the study to evaluate the treatment effect of rTMS on the functional performance of lower extremities in terms of postural control, balance, and mobility in stroke patients. Investigators hypothesized that these performances could be improved through the better motor control of lower extremities caused by rTMS.
