Motor impairment is a significant health concern among post-stroke patients. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is considered as an emerging rehabilitation therapy for various neurological conditions, and the effects of excitatory TMS on post-stroke have received much attention in past decade. However, the future hotspots and content analysis on the growth trends have not been studied. This bibliometric and content analysis aimed to study the global developmental history and current status of TMS for motor function of post-stroke from January 2004 to July 2023. ⋯ This bibliometric study describes that TMS has shown promising results in improving motor function of upper extremity in stroke patients, the long-term effects and durability of these improvements are still being investigated. Future research might focus on understanding the optimal duration and frequency of TMS sessions for sustained motor recovery and exploring strategies to maintain gains achieved through TMS over extended periods of time. Future studies can investigate the changes in the lower limb motor function.

Posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries constitute 16 % of all knee ligament injuries and are often seen with other ligamentous injuries. PLC injuries can be overlooked. If left untreated, other ligamentous reconstructions are at risk, residual laxity may occur, and early osteoarthritis may result. ⋯ PLC injuries are difficult to diagnose. MFNS is a finding that may facilitate diagnosis in PLC injuries.
