Induction of Cortical Plastic Changes in Wrist Muscles by Paired Associative Stimulation in the Recovery Phase of Stroke Patients

Abstract

These electrophysiological findings suggest that patients with subcortical infarcts may respond to PAS in an earlier than later period after stroke. If the clinical efficacy of interventions such as PAS is confirmed, it could be proposed early as add-on therapy to optimize training-induced plasticity processes.
