Primed Physical Therapy Enhances Recovery of Upper Limb Function in Chronic Stroke Patients

Conclusions. Two weeks of iTBS-primed therapy improves upper limb function at the chronic stage of stroke, for at least 1 month postintervention, whereas therapy alone may not be sufficient to alter function. This indicates a potential role for iTBS as an adjuvant to therapy delivered at the chronic stage.
