Abstract

Objectives: To describe the role of transcranial magnetic stimulation in the prognosis of upper extremity rehabilitation in patients after ischemic stroke. Subjects and research methods: prospective, descriptive study on 80 patients with cerebral infarction for the first time treated at the rehabilitation center of Bach Mai hospital from October 17, 2022 to May 28, 2023. 80 patients were divided into two groups MEP (+) and MEP (-), assessed at the time of admission and 4 weeks after admission. Results: The mean age was 63.33 ± 11,358 with male predominance (60%). The improvement in ARAT score after 4 weeks in the MEP (+) and MEP (-) groups was 23.89 and 8.67 points, respectively. This difference is statistically significant with p = 0.000. The improvement in BI score after 4 weeks in the MEP (+) and MEP (-) groups was 49.71 and 27.11, respectively. This difference is statistically significant with p = 0.000. Conclusion: Transcranial magnetic field plays a role in the prognosis of upper extremity rehabilitation in patients with cerebral infarction.
