| Objective: To observe the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with repetitive facilitative exercise on lower limb motor function after stroke. Methods: A random number table was used to divide 80 stroke patients who met the inclusion criteria into a control group of 40 cases and an observation group of 40 cases. Both groups received routine rehabilitation and rTMS treatment, while the observation group received repetitive facilitative exercise on this basis, 6 times a week for 4 weeks. Before and after treatment, the lower limb motor function of patients was evaluated using the Fugl Meyer Scale (FMA-LE), Functional Walking Scale (FAC), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and 10m Maximum Walking Speed Test (10MWT). Results: After 4 weeks of treatment, the scores of FMA-LE, FAC, BBS, and 10MWT in both groups were improved compared to those before treatment (P<0.05), and those in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The combination of rTMS and repetitive facilitative exercise can effectively improve lower limb balance and motor function, and promote the recovery of walking function in stroke patients. |
