@@ Purpose Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in reduced locomotor function and negatively affects the muscle strength. This study aimed to conduct a pilot study of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) combing with Body-Weight-Supported Treadmill Training(BWSTT) in patients with incomplete SCI, and to assess its safety. The patients were assessed using electrophysiological, clinical and functional measures before and after treatment and during a 3-week follow-up period. We also use functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) to study if an association exists between changes in cortical sensorimotor representations within cortical sensorimotor areas and recovery of movement after the intervention.
