Efficacy of dual-target iTBS on gait function and brain activation in stroke patients: a randomized, single-blinded, sham-controlled study

Simultaneous iTBS targeting the affected lower limb motor cortex and the contralateral cerebellar motor region is more effective than single-target stimulation in enhancing lower limb motor function and balance in stroke patients. This enhanced efficacy may arise from the activation of cortical-cerebellar circuits, which improves brain network efficiency and results in better gait outcomes.
