Trial name or title	Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation for patients with hemiplegia
Methods	RCT
Participants	Inclusion criteria: cerebral hemisphere damage, people who could walk independently, modified Rankin Scale between 0 and 2 before onset Exclusion criteria: severe dementia, people with contraindications outlined in the guidelines for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
Interventions	Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation + standard physical therapy Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation: while participants are participating in this study, they receive repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation on the day they perform physical therapy. Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation is performed on the quadriceps femoris at 30 Hz for 10 minutes. Standard physical therapy is performed according to the standard schedule of the authors' hospital
Outcomes	Knee extension strength, evaluation time: at the time of starting physical therapy, 1 week later, 2 weeks later, 1 month later, 2 months later Stroke Impairment Assessment Set, 10‐meter walking speed, Functional Independence Measure, quadriceps muscle thickness, acceleration during walking, Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go Test, biochemical blood test, number of days until gait reacquisition, hospitalisation
Starting date	1 October 2015
