1. A system for improving a medical condition resulting from a stroke or a traumatic etiology in a patient suffering therefrom comprising:

  • a therapy delivery device for positioning on at least one target site selected from the group consisting of a deep cerebellar target site;

    a thalamic nucleus target site that is within the cerebello-thalamo-cortical pathway and thus receives a projection from a deep cerebellar nucleus and projects to the cerebral cortex; and

    projections from the cerebellum to the thalamus; and

    a controller in communication with the therapy delivery device and programmed with stimulation parameters suitable for delivering a therapy signal to the target site to improve the medical condition resulting from the stroke or the traumatic etiology in the patient.
