Abstract

Highlights: [•] We evaluated if inhibitory modulation of stroke hemisphere can enhance recovery. [•] We found no deleterious effects of inhibitory stimulation on recovery. [•] All patients showed some improvement from a retraining protocol for the upper limb. [•] Inhibition of stroke hemisphere is safe and has the potential to enhance recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
