The ontogenetic model for CVA rehabilitation with transcranial stimulation

DOI: https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2022.2466

Abstract

Currently, the application of transcranial stimulation for the treatment of stroke is based on the interhemispheric rivalry model. This model has shown many anomalies that necessitate a new paradigm. Spontaneous recovery from post-stroke hemiplegia has an ontogenetic pattern. We re-analyzed the London 2008 longitudinal study and found that cortical disinhibition corresponds to the ontogenic recovery mechanism of stroke. We suggest that transcranial stimulation, using 10 Hz rTMS or anodic electrical microstimulation, can recover stroke in a similar way to spontaneous recovery.
