Inhibition of the contralesional premotor cortex enhances motor function of the affected hand following stroke Abstract Objective: Inhibitory (1Hz) rTMS applied over the contralesional M1 improves dexterity of the affected hand after stroke. To test if 1Hz rTMS over the contralesional premotor cortex results in a similar improvement of motor function of the affected hand after stroke. Methods: 14 right-handed patients with impaired dexterity after stroke and 14 right-handed healthy control subjects received a single session of 1Hz rTMS (15 minutes stimulation, 900 pulses, 110% of the resting motor threshold) ove…
