A novel perspective of associativity of upper limb motor impairment and cortical excitability in sub-acute and chronic stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The global inclination of stroke onset in earlier years of life and increased lifespan have resulted in an increased chronic post-stroke-related disability. The precise and simplistic approach such as the correlation of Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) parameters, Resting Motor Threshold (RMT) and Motor Evoked Potential (MEP), in patients with stroke might play a critical role, given the prognostic value of MEP, a measure of cortical excitability, and might be the key point in prescribing appropriate therapeutic strategies.

Objective

The study aimed to determine the correlation of FMA-based impairment in the upper extremity function specifically of the wrist and hand with respect to the neurophysiological parameters of corti
