Abstract

Materials and Methods: Twelve hemiplegic patients were assigned into the treatment group   and received magnetic stimulation with routine rehabilitation program for 10 sessions, three times a week. Pre and post-treatment evaluations were done based on Barthel and Fugl-Meyer indexes  and dynamometer.

Results: In the treatment group, significant improvement were observed in Barthel and Fugl- Meyer indexes and dynamometer (P = .010, P = .001 and P = .007, respectively).

Conclusion: Combination of rTMS with conventional treatment can improve hand muscle force and function in chronic hemiplegic   patients.
