Abstract: Objective To investigate the immediate effects of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) on upper limb spasticity and motor function for stroke patients. Methods From May to October, 2018, 14 stroke patients accepted rPMS once. They were assessed with modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and modified Tardieu Scale (MTS) of Upper limb, and Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE) before and after stimulation. Results The score of FMA-UE impoved (t = -3.166, P < 0.01) after rPMS, as well as those of MAS of shoulder adductors, shoulder extensors, elbow flexors, elbow extensors and wrist flexors (P < 0.05), and R1 of shoulder adductors, shoulder extensors, elbow flexors, elbow extensors and wrist flexors in MTS (P < 0.05), R2 of shoulder adductors and shoulder extensors (P < 0.05). Conclusion rPMS may immediately effect spasticity and motor function on upper limbs in stroke patients.
