Comparative efficacy of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation versus repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in improving lower extremity motor function in subacute stroke patients
Both dTMS and rTMS can improve lower extremity motor dysfunction in subacute stroke patients. Compared to rTMS, dTMS may provide more facilitative and accelerative effects to promote FMA-LE, TUGT, 10 m MWS, and walking velocity. Therefore, as an adjunct to conventional rehabilitation therapies, dTMS is a valuable therapeutic option in stroke rehabilitation programs.
