Phase 2a study shows improved gait and balance with cerebellar stimulation after stroke

Takeaway 

  • Cerebellar intermittent θ-burst stimulation (CRB-iTBS) with physiotherapy (PT) improves gait and balance in patients with impairment six or more months after a hemiparetic stroke. 

Why this matters

    Gait and balance impairments are associated with poorer functional recovery and greater need for assistance.
