Corticospinal Integrity and Motor Impairment Predict Outcomes After Excitatory Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: A Preliminary Study

The effectiveness of iTBS modulation for poststroke motor enhancement depends on baseline hand grip strength and the presence of MEPs. Our findings indicate that establishing neurostimulation strategies based on the proposed electrophysiological and clinical criteria can allow iTBS to be executed with substantial precision. Effective neuromodulatory strategies can be formulated by using electrophysiological features and clinical presentation information as guidelines.
