Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of peripheral magnetic stimulation and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on hand and upper limb motor function in a patient with chronic stroke. Methods A case three years after stroke accepted routine rehabilitation, meanwhile he accepted peripheral magnetic stimulation on the paralyzed (right) forearm and rTMS on bilateral sensorimotor cortex in addition, for four weeks. Results The score of Fulg-Meyer Assessment of motor function of upper limb improved after treatment, while his grade of modified Ashworth Scale reduced. Conclusion Peripheral magnetic stimulation combined with rTMS might be an effective treatment for the upper limb motor dysfunction for patients with chronic stroke.
