Abstract:
In recent years, non-invasive brain stimulation has been widely used in clinical rehabilitation due to its safe and non-invasive features.Particularly for stroke patients, this technique has become a new type of rehabilitation by virtue of its role in improving gait disorders, aphasia, dysphagia, and other complications. Previous research on stroke rehabilitation mainly focused on the cerebral cortex, while the recent evidences suggest that the cerebellum, with its rich synaptic plasticity and extensive structural and functional connectivity with the brain, has emerged as a promising target for non-invasive intervention in stroke rehabilitation. Non-invasive stimulation of the cerebellum is expected to improve patients' impaired function and quality of life. This review discusses the possible mechanisms and clinical applications of non-invasive cerebellar stimulation technology in regulating stroke rehabilitation, aiming to provide new treatment directions and application value for individualized stroke rehabilitation.
