Physical therapy aims to improve function of both undamaged and also, as far as possible, damaged neuronal structures. However, 'reorganization' of neuronal circuits is the target of specific training approaches. Therefore, the challenge is to guide CNS plasticity in order to optimize the functional outcome for a given individual. Hypothesized was that high-frequency rTMS coupled with gait training can improve motor recovery in the lower extremities and locomotion in incomplete SCI patients to a greater degree than sham stimulation.
