Abstract

Double-Blind Method Humans Middle Aged Stroke - complications Stroke Rehabilitation Aphasia, Broca - therapy Male Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Aphasia, Broca - etiology Aged, 80 and over Female Aged Chronic Disease
Low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has emerged as a potential tool for neurorehabilitation and remediation of language in chronic non-fluent aphasia post-stroke. Inhibitory (1 Hz) rTMS has been applied to homologous language sites to facilitate behavioural language changes. Improvements in picture-naming performance and speech output over time have been reported.
