The aim was to investigate the relationship between transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) at the early stage of stroke and 6-month motor outcome for patients with anterior cerebral artery territory infarct. Patients were classified into TMS(+) and TMS(-) groups. At the 6-month evaluation, lower limb motor function for the TMS(+) group was significantly better than those for the TMS(-) group. Thus, early TMS evaluation is useful for predicting recovery of lower limb motor function in patients experiencing this type of stroke.

Chang et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Anterior cerebral artery territory infarct. Early transcranial magnetic stimulation positive status [TMS(+)] vs. Transcranial magnetic stimulation negative status [TMS(-)] was evaluated on 6-month lower limb motor function. Early transcranial magnetic stimulation positive status [TMS(+)] was associated with significantly better 6-month lower limb motor function compared with TMS(-) status in ACA infarct patients.
