| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated clinical influence of high-frequency RTMS with a butterfly coil on walking function in post-stroke patients. As a result of cross-over study, first, we found that high-frequency RTMS of bilateral leg motor areas using a butterfly coil can improve walking function in post-stroke hemiparetic patients. Second, we provided combination protocol of high-frequency RTMS with a butterfly coil and physical therapy over several days for post-stroke patients with gait disturbance, as a pilot study. The result of this pilot study revealed that the combination protocol is safe and feasible and can improve walking function after stroke. Based on these results, we conclude that high-frequency rTMS with a butterfly coil can be a novel therapeutic intervention for gait disturbance after stroke, especially, when combined with physical therapy.
