Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy on Lower Extremity Motor Development in Stroke Patients

"It was planned to apply 1 Hz low-frequency inhibition protocol to the primary motor cortex foot area in the non-lesional hemisphere, 5 days a week for 2 weeks, for a total of 10 sessions.~After the daily rTMS session, it was planned to apply a conventional rehabilitation therapy for 60 minutes to all patients for 6 weeks (Exercise program consisting of joint range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises, balance exercises and neurophysiological exercises (Brunstroom exercises) for 45 minutes and 15 minutes of NMES application in the presence of an experienced physiotherapist)."

"It was planned to apply 50 Hz high-frequency stimulation protocol to the primary motor cortex foot area in the ipsilesional hemisphere, 5 days a week for 2 weeks, for a total of 10 sessions.~After the daily rTBS session, it was planned to apply a conventional rehabilitation therapy for 60 minutes to all patients for 6 weeks (Exercise program consisting of joint range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises, balance exercises and neurophysiological exercises (Brunstroom exercises) for 45 minutes and 15 minutes of NMES application in the presence of an experienced physiotherapist)."

"It was planned to apply daily sham rTMS to the motor extremity area of the primary motor cortex along a 10 cm thick wood for 10 sessions.~After the daily sham rTMS session, it was planned to apply a conventional rehabilitation therapy for 60 minutes to all patients for 6 weeks (Exercise program consisting of joint range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises, balance exercises and neurophysiological exercises (Brunstroom exercises) for 45 minutes and 15 minutes of NMES application in the presence of an experienced physiotherapist)."
