Study Summary
The study is about using a brain stimulation technique called rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) to help improve hand muscles in people who had a stroke. Researchers want to understand how this device can help stroke patients use their hands better.
Primary Outcome
Each intervention session (total of 3) will consist of one format of iTBS stimulation. Before and after the intervention, single pulse TMS (spTMS) and motor sequence learning (MSL) will be used to assess the effect of the intervention on corticospinal excitability and motor performance.
