| Research Abstract |
The main purpose of this study was to clarify the most beneficial therapeutic approach for upper limb hemiparesis after stroke among some modalities of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(RTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation(TDCS), and to investigate the clinical effect of combined application of RTMS/TDCS and intensive rehabilitative training. As a result, consecutive application of low-frequency RTMS over the non-lesional hemisphere with intensive occupational therapy was safe and seemed to have a potential to improve motor function of the affected upper limb in post-stroke patients. In addition, this combination significantly reduced abnormally increased muscle tonus of the affected upper limb, indicating the anti-spastic effect of the intervention. Unfortunately, the effect of TDCS on upper limb motor function after stroke has not been elucidated sufficiently so far, because of unexpected mechanical trouble with the device.
