Stroke, also known as cerebrovascular accident. It is a cerebrovascular disease caused by damage or rupture of cerebral blood vessels, resulting in vascular failure and interruption of blood flow, resulting in cerebral cell ischemia and hypoxia. This kind of injury usually causes local brain dysfunction, and the symptoms last for more than 24 hours, which can lead to death in severe cases. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is widely used in the field of stroke rehabilitation of the upper extremities, but it is rarely described in the literature of the lower extremities. In order to overcome these problems, the challenges we must face in the future are to determine the best parameters and the most appropriate intervention time through a large number of clinical research centers, so as to provide patients with the best treatment plan in combination with the unity of the curative effect after intervention in various periods and various rehabilitation treatment methods.
