Summary

This study aimed to investigate the effects of rTMS on balance performance and functional mobility in people with PD. Additionally, it further examines the effects of single-session low-frequency and high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on balance performance and functional mobility.

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease
  • Motor Cortex
  • Excitability
  • Balance
  • Motor Skills Disorders

Interventions

DEVICE

rTMS

Participants will receive different stimulation approaches in sequences: high-frequency rTMS, low-frequency rTMS, and sham rTMS. They will be randomly assigned to three groups with different stimulation sequences. After each single stimulation, balance performance, functional mobility, and motor symptoms will be measured. In this study, eighteen PD patients with Hoehn and Yahr stage 1 to 3 will be recruited.
