Efficacy of Trans-spinal Magnetic Stimulation on Functional Mobility in Chronic Stroke Patients

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 Criteria:

• Confirmation of Stroke by digital or physical imaging or medical report
• Gait impairment
• Stroke with at least 6 months after ictus

Exclusion Criteria:

• Metallic implants in spinal cord
• Major orthopedic/rheumatological disorders
• Incapacity of verbal or non-verbal communication
