Using theoretical models from adult stroke recovery to improve use of non-invasive brain stimulation for children with congenital hemiparesis

Non-invasive brain stimulation has been widely used for adults with stroke to improve upper limb motor function. A recent study by Kirton and colleagues (Kirton A, Ciechanski P, Zewdie E et al. Neurology 2017, doi: 10.1212/WNL.0000000000003518) applied non-invasive brain stimulation to children with congenital hemiparesis but found no significant effect of non-invasive brain stimulation on motor function. Here, we explore theories about cortical reorganization in both adult and children with hemiparesis and discuss how to improve the approaches of non-invasive brain stimulation to generate optimal motor improvement and development for children with congenital hemiparesis.
