A multimodal approach to understand upper-limb motor impairment after stroke in subacute and chronic phases

Purpose: Accumulated evidence supports motor evoked potential (MEP) status and neuroimaging measures of corticospinal tract (CST) integrity as useful biomarkers for understanding upper-limb motor outcome. Our aim was to determine which biomarkers among electrophysiological and MRI variables can accurately explain the motor impairment in subacute and chronic stroke patients.
