A Comparative Study of 5 Hz Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Cortical Activity and Upper Limb Function in Chronic Stroke Patients with Different Stroke Etiologies: A Case Study

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 5Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on cortical activity and upper limb function in the etiology of chronic stroke patients. 2 patients with ischemic stroke and 2 patients with hemorrhagic stroke who satisfied the selection criteria were selected using the ABA’ single subjective design. The study period was applied 18 times in all 4 patients: 3 times at baseline (A), 12 times in intervention period (B), and 3 times in baseline (A
