Differences in neural pathways are related to the short- or long-term benefits of constraint-induced movement therapy in patients with chronic stroke and hemiparesis: a pilot cohort study

BackgroundNo previous studies have determined how the post-stroke integrity of non-corticospinal neural pathways relates to the efficacy of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT).ObjectivesWe aimed to clarify the relationship between several non-corticospinal neural pathway integrities and the short- and long-term benefits of CIMT.MethodsThis was a pilot cohort study (UMIN registration number: R00027136UMIN000023566), for which we enrolled...
