Relation of white matter hyperintensities and motor deficits in chronic stroke

Infarct size and location account for only a relatively small portion of post-stroke motor impairment, suggesting that other less obvious factors may be involved.Examine the relationship between white matter hyperintensity (WMH) load among other factors and upper extremity motor deficit in patients with mild to moderate chronic stroke.The magnetic resonance images of 28 patients were studied. WMH load was assessed as total WMH volume and WMH...
