Phase-dependent Evaluation of Motor Cortex Excitability With TMS in Stroke

Description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on motor cortex excitability in individuals who have suffered stroke and to study the influence of the phase of the oscillatory rhythm (mu frequency) on motor excitability in stroke individuals.

Conditions
