Identifying biomarkers related to motor function in chronic stroke: A <scp>fNIRS</scp> and <scp>TMS</scp> study

Abstract

Distinct patterns of connectivity and corticospinal integrity exist between stroke subgroups with differing impairments. Strengthened connectivity potentially indicates recruitment of additional motor resources to compensate for damage. These findings elucidate the neural correlates underlying motor deficits poststroke and could guide personalized, network-based therapies targeting predictive biomarkers to improve rehabilitation outcomes.
