Reliability of lower limb transcranial magnetic stimulation outcomes in the ipsi- and contralesional hemispheres of adults with chronic stroke

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) represents a painless and non-invasive method to study the motor system. TMS has become extensively used worldwide, for example in healthy humans to investigate mechanisms of brain plasticity in the primary motor cortex (M1) (Delvendahl et al., 2012) and to probe the neurophysiological underpinnings of M1 function (Reis et al., 2008). Also, TMS-related measures are used clinically for diagnostic, prognostic and evaluative purposes in different pathologies, such as stroke (Liepert et al., 2000a; Liepert et al., 2000b; Talelli et al., 2006).
