Excitatory effect of intermittent theta burst stimulation on corticomotor excitability of the biceps in individuals with tetraplegia

We aim to determine whether intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) has potential to promote motor re-education. We found iTBS to have a facilitatory effect on biceps corticomotor excitability in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and an individual with SCI and upper limb reconstruction. This suggests that iTBS may be a promising adjunct to physical training.
