A short bout of high-intensity exercise alters ipsilesional motor cortical excitability post-stroke.

Conclusions: High-intensity exercise can increase lesioned hemisphere motor cortical excitability in a non-exercised muscle post-stroke. Our short and clinically-advantageous exercise protocol shows promise as a potential priming method in stroke rehabilitation. PMID: 31144609 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
