Group A, high-frequency rTMS during hand grip training; Group B, high-frequency rTMS alone; Group C, hand grip training alone; rTMS, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. JTHFT, Jebsen–Taylor Hand Function Test; FMA-UE, Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper extremity; mBI, modified Barthel index; rTMS, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. A paired t test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare the values between baseline and post-intervention within each group. ***p ≤ 0.001 (compared to baseline). **p ≤ 0.01 (compared to baseline). *p < 0.05 (compared to baseline).
