Modern neurophysiological brain stimulation techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation and direct current stimulation, are powerful tools to inhibit or facilitate cortical excitability for several minutes after stimulation depending on the stimulation parameters used. Purposeful modulation of cortical excitability may induce plastic changes within the cortical network of sensorimotor areas, and has the power to improve the function of the affected hand after stroke. The therapeutic use of transcranial brain stimulation techniques is based on the concept of interhemispheric competition. Here we give an overview of the use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and direct current stimulation in the rehabilitation of impaired hand function after stroke. |
