چکیده

To verify the role of interhemispheric influences on manifestations of neglect, the authors investigated the effects of a transient repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)-induced disruption of the unaffected hemisphere on contralesional visuospatial neglect in two left- and five right-brain-damaged patients. Parietal rTMS of the unaffected hemisphere during the execution of a computerized task of bisected line's length judgment transiently decreased the magnitude of neglect as expressed in the number of errors.

Dissociation between position sense and visual-spatial components of hemineglect through a specific rehabilitation treatment.

Current evidence suggests an association between contralesional extra-personal hemineglect, and deficits of arm position sense in patients with damage to the right cerebral hemisphere. A unitary deficit may produce both disorders, or this association may reflect the anatomical contiguity of relevant brain structures. A rehabilitation treatment, devised for visual-spatial hemineglect, was used t...

Excitability out of balance: treating hemineglect with transcranial magnetic brain stimulation.

Neurology 2012;78:13–14 Rehabilitation of hemineglect is vexingly inadequate. Beyond its direct detrimental effect on visual-spatial function, hemineglect interferes with rehabilitation of cognitive and motor function.1 Interventions targeting this condition include relearning appropriate visuospatial scanning behaviors through practice and cuing, engaging the attentional system with exogenous ...

Behavioral and neuroplastic effects of low-frequency rTMS of the unaffected hemisphere in a chronic stroke patient: a concomitant TMS and fMRI study.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) ameliorates motor and neuropsychological deficits following stroke, but little is known about the underlying neuroplasticity. We investigated neuroplastic changes following 5 days of low-frequency rTMS on the intact motor cortex to promote motor recovery in a chronic patient with subcortical stroke. The feasibility of administering multiple tr...

Low-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Stroke-Induced Upper Limb Motor Deficit: A Meta-Analysis

Background and Purpose This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF-rTMS) over the contralesional hemisphere on upper limb motor recovery and cortex plasticity after stroke. Methods Databases of PubMed, Medline, ScienceDirect, Cochrane, and Embase were searched for randomized controlled trials published before...

The Effect of rTMS with Rehabilitation on Hand Function and Corticomotor Excitability in Sub-Acute Stroke

Objectives: Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability. Hand motor impairment resulting from chronic stroke may have extensive physical, psychological, financial, and social implications despite available rehabilitative treatments. The best time to start treatment for stroke, is in sub-acute period. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a method of stimulating and ...
