Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the effects of navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, delivered in different modes, on motor impairments and functional limitations after stroke.
Methods: The study sample included 42 patients (58.5 ± 10.
The purpose of this study was to test the effects of a conventional exercise program designed for correcting postural and coordination abnormalities in patients with mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). Using principles of motor learning applied to functional exercise training, exercises were performed while lying, sitting, standing and walking, with the goal of improving intra- and inter-limb coordination in the upper and lower extremities, postural stability and gait pattern. Twenty-two participants with TBI-related deficits received therapy in a supervised outpatient clinic.

- The study investigates postural control learning in patients with left and right hemisphere brain lesions following stroke.
- Both patient groups were trained using two tasks on a force platform to assess their ability to control the center of pressure (COP).
- Results showed that while initial control was impaired for all patients, those with left hemisphere lesions reached higher performance levels earlier compared to those with right hemisphere lesions, particularly in the task requiring precise coordination.
