Effects of High Frequency rTMS Combined Motor Learning on Upper Limb Motor Function in Subacute Stroke

This study is to present the effect of a program combining high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with motor learning on upper limb motor function and grip strength and activities of daily motion in patients with subacute stroke. Purpose : This study was to investigate the effects of high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with motor learning effects motor function and grip force for upper limbs and activities of daily living of subacute stroke patients. Subjects : Thirty individuals with subacute stroke, satisfying the selection criteria, were selected for this study. Subject were randomly allocated into 14 high frequency repetitive transcarnial magnetic stimulation+motor learning group(experimental group), 16 sham repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation+motor learning group(control group). Intervention : 12 sessions, 3d/wk, 4week Studies : upper limb functional assessment(FMA-U/L, BBT), hand grip force assessment(disital hand dynamometer), activities daily of living assessment(K-MBI) Evaluation : 1)pre test 2)post test
