Abstract
Stroke patients have difficulties in the functional recovery. The searching of optimal stroke rehabilitation way is one of the most challenging subjects. Motor imagery therapy is helpful for the patients after stroke. This paper researches on which motor imagery mode is better for stroke rehabilitation by measuring their motor evoked potential (MEP) induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Ten subjects are involved in this study. As a result, impossible movement has a bigger MEP than possible movement and there is a comparable effect between related motor imagery and opposite motor imagery. This work is significant for instructing the rehabilitation of stroke patients.
