Impact of transcranial magnetic stimulation on motor function in children with acquired brain injury: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Children with severe acquired brain injury (ABI) require early and effective neurorehabilitation provision to promote a good long-term functional outcome. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used to improve motor skills for children with cerebral palsy but there is limited material supporting its use in children with ABI who have a motor disorder.

Objective

To systematically answer what the TMS intervention effects are on motor function in children with ABI as reported in the literature.

Methods and analysis

This scoping review will follow Arksey and O'MaIIey's scoping review methodological framework. A comprehensive computerised bibliographic databases search will be performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Allied and Complementary Medicine, BNI,
