Background: Spasticity is a common contributor to the quality of life of children with CP as it leads to musculoskeletal problems; however, it had been proved that removal of spasticity can improve motor functions in these children; thus, several invasive and non-invasive approaches are applied. Repetitive Transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is one such non-invasive brain stimulation approach that can induce motor functions in children with movement disorder depending on stimulation intensity and pulses.
Objective: This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of different rTMS pulses on muscle spasticity of spastic cerebral palsy (CP) children.
Method: Thirty spastic CP children participated in this study which was divided equally into three groups P15, P20 and P25 on the basis of stimulating pulses of 1500, 2000 and.. View More»
