| Research Abstract |
We had developed the therapy of hemiparesis after stroke by using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation that induced the reorganization due to the reduction of inhibitory function. The neurophysiological study had revealed that the weak inhibitory function in stroke patients with good motor function facilitated the reorganization of ipsilesional primary motor cortex and the transcallosal inhibition from the contralesional to the ipsilesional motor cortex had correlated with the mirror activity. The study of the electroencephalogram coherence after rTMS had indicated that the combination of rTMS and Brain-Machine Interface was important for stroke therapy.
