Inhibitory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the contralesional premotor and primary motor cortices facilitate poststroke motor recovery.

CONCLUSIONS: In patients with chronic stroke, the cPMd can fulfill a role similar to that of the cM1 in interhemispheric imbalance, which can be ameliorated by applying inhibitory rTMS to achieve substantial motor restoration.
