Brief Summary:
The project will investigate whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation rTMS can be used to potentiateprime spinal cord injured patients nervous systems for more intense rehabilitation exercise of longer duration - thus leading to greater recovery of motion function The technique in which a magnetic coil is positioned above the scalp and forms a magnetic field that activates the desired center of the brain eg motor cortex is used in clinical practice for the treatment of a number of disorders However although a combination of rTMS and gait training in SCI patients previously has proven beneficial it is unknown whether additional functional gains can be achieved by combining rTMS and supervised high-intensity resistance training
In this project 30 newly-admitted patients will be recruited and randomized to receive either active rTMS and strength training n 15 or sham imitated rTMS strength training in parallel with standard care The investigators hypothesize that the active rTMS group will have superior gains in locomotor function and muscle mass compared to the sham group
