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.
