Efficacy of Trans-spinal Magnetic Stimulation on Functional Mobility in Chronic Stroke Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if trans-spinal magnetic stimulation works to treat gait disorders in chronic stroke adults. It will also learn about the safety of trans-spinal magnetic stimulation.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does trans-spinal magnetic stimulation enhance chronic stroke participants gait and functional mobility? Does the technique cause any side effects?
Researchers will compare trans-spinal magnetic stimulation to a sham (a look-alike stimulation with no real effect) to see if trans-spinal magnetic stimulation works to treat gait disorders and improve functional mobility.
Participants will:
Receive trans-spinal magnetic stimulation with treadmill training or a sham stimulation with treadmill training every day for 2 weeks.
Inclusion: Confirmation of Stroke by digital or physical imaging or medical report; Gait impairment; Stroke with at least 6 months after ictus.
Exclusion: Metallic implants in spinal cord; Major orthopedic/rheumatological disorders; Incapacity of verbal or non-verbal communication.
