The purpose of this study was to examine potential change in stereognosis after intervention. <br>METHODS: Stereognosis testing in a secondary subgroup of 10 children with hemiparesis and baseline stereognosis deficits (ages 11-16) after a 13-day clinical trial of real or sham repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is reported. All children received 10 h of CIMT while wearing a cast full-time. <br>RESULTS: Post-trial, 80% of participants from both intervention groups demonstrated improvement in stereognosis (95% CI: 44.4%-97.5%). Pre-trial to long-term follow-up (range: 21-57 months), 60% retained gains or improved (95% CI: 26.2%-87.8%). Between-group differences were not detected. <br>DISCUSSION: Children demonstrated stereognosis change following intervention. Research on this change and potential minimal clinically important differences are indicated.<p> 23707 Developmental Neurorehabilitation Pediatrics 2025-01-31T22:52:05.028-06:00 3 Stability of stereognosis after pediatric repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and constraint-induced movement therapy clinical trial 20 document-rn38437 Stroke 10.3109/17518423.2016.1139008
