Continuous theta burst stimulation combined with skilled motor practice after stroke : effects on implicit learning and electroneurophysiology

After stroke, cortical excitability is decreased in the ipsilesional primary motor cortex and increased in the contralesional primary motor cortex. This abnormal pattern of excitability detrimentally affects performance with the hemiparetic arm. Short lasting improvements in motor performance occur...
