Use of a Foot-Induced Digitally Controlled Resistance Device for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation in Patients with Foot Paresis.

ABSTRACT: Neurological deficits from a stroke can result in long-term motor disabilities, including those that affect walking gait. However, extensive rehabilitation following stroke is typically time limited. Establishing predictive biomarkers to identify patients who may meaningfully benefit from additional physical therapy and demonstrate improvement is important to improve the patients' quality of life. Detection of neuroplastic remodeling of the affected region and changes in the activity patterns excited while performing suitable motor tasks could have valuable implications for chronic stroke recovery. This protocol describes the use of a digitally controlled, magnetic resonance-compatible foot-induced robotic device (MR_COFID) to present a personalized foot-motor task involving trajectory fol
