EMTr de baixa frequência aplicada sobre o córtex motor não lesado associada a fisioterapia motora reduz a excitabilidade medular assim como a espasticidade do membro superior de pacientes pós AVE em fase crônica. Pode-se sugerir o uso da EMTr como terapia complementar à fisioterapia, por se tratar de uma técnica de modulação cortical, segura, indolor e não invasiva.
Considera-se que os resultados do presente estudo contribuíram para a hipótese de que estratégias de facilitação da neuroplasticidade podem ser utilizadas nas clínicas de fisioterapia, com o propósito de maximizar os efeitos terapêuticos do programa de reabilitação. O que poderia levar à recuperação precoce e efetiva dos pacientes e reduzir os custos com reabilitação. Entretanto é importante salientar que os possíveis mecanismos envolvidos nos efeitos observados ainda são hipotéticos, por isso mais ensaios clínicos randomizados com follow-up são necessários para esclarecer os mecanismos neurofisiológicos subjacentes a estes efeitos.
