The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of neurophysiological parameters in predicting functional recovery in patient with stroke. Ten patients with radiologically confirmed stroke and varying degrees of hemiparesis were studied using somatosensory evoked potentials by stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve and transcranial magnetic stimulation. The SEP and MEP were recorded within the first week, 4 week and 9 months after stroke onset. In the acute period, cortical SEP were present in 3 hemiparetic and 1 hemiplegic patients; MEP could be detected only in the hemiplegic patient. The motor response was absent in the other 9 patients. In the first follow-up, SEP appear in 3 patients and MEP in 4. These parameters were correlated with functional recovery (middle and good). In the last control, no significant differences were observed. In conclusion patients with the presence of neurophysiological responses in the acute period or in the first control showed a significant clinical recovery compared to the others. The use of the SEP and MEP compared with stroke degree of recovery had value in predicting the outcome of disease.
