Cerebellar rTMS to promote motor recovery in hemiparetic stroke patients: a double blind sham controlled randomized controlled trial

The cerebellum is known to be strongly implicated in the functional reorganization of motor networks in stroke patients, especially for gait and balance functions. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the cerebellum can be used to enhance these adaptive processes in stroke recovery.
