Abstract
Functional recovery of stroke-related deficits is mainly achieved through neural reorganization. Neurorehabilitative approaches, therefore, aim at supporting positive processes while suppressing maladaptive neuronal processes. This review summarizes the main findings of studies using non-invasive and invasive brain stimulation with respect to the benefits of the treatment for motor deficits after stroke. In addition, the article discusses possible approaches to enhance the effectiveness of neuromodulatory approaches and thus improve the outcome of patients.
