About This Trial
This study aims to evaluate the effects and clinical feasibility of non-invasive brain stimulation protocols, specifically intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation, as part of rehabilitation interventions for motor recovery of lower extremity in the chronic phase after stroke. It also seeks to explore the underlying mechanisms by investigating changes of functional and structural brain networks.
