Interventions

Sham stimulus group:rTMS sham stimulation of the affected hemisphere based on conventional rehabilitation methods, 1 time/day, 20 min/time, 5 times/week, for 2 weeks
Low Frequency Group:1 Hz low-frequency rTMS stimulation of the affected hemisphere, 1 time/day, 20 min/time, 5 times/week, for 2 weeks, based on conventional rehabilitation training methods
High Frequency Group:High-frequency rTMS stimulation at 10 Hz in the healthy hemisphere, 1 time/day, 20 min/time, 5 times/week, for 2 weeks, based on conventional rehabilitation training methods
Combined low and high frequency group:Based on the conventional rehabilitation training method, the affected hemisphere was stimulated with 1 Hz low frequency for 10 min, and then the healthy hemisphe
