Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation Enhances Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy Outcomes After Stroke

簡要摘要

This is a retrospective observational study to investigate the effect of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) combined with modified constraint-induced movement therapy (m-CIMT) on upper extremity and finger fine motor function in patients with stroke hemiplegia. We hypothesize that rPMS priming immediately before m-CIMT can enhance wrist extensor activation during task practice and lead to better upper limb motor recovery than m-CIMT alone. Outcome measures include joint range of motion, muscle tone, grip strength, upper limb motor function, and activities of daily living.
