Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) is a promising approach for facilitating recovery of motor function after stroke, but trials assessing its efficacy have provided contradictory results. Di Pino and colleagues propose a unified 'bimodal balance–recovery model' for stroke recovery that takes into account the individual residual structural reserve and could aid tailoring of treatment for individual patients, thereby increasing the efficacy of NIBS in stroke rehabilitation.
