 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 17 Motor network reorganization after stroke functional magnetic resonance imaging study of horizontal Of: Sheng-Hua Liu Cheng-Feng Yang Ming Liu Bin Wei Songyu [Abstract] Objective functional magnetic resonance imaging of stroke recovery of motor function in patients with varying degrees of passive movement task, brain activation differences. Methods 20 stroke patients underwent bilateral wrist joints were functional MRI scan passive movement, the data used SPM2 software analysis and localize functional areas of the brain. The results of different levels of stroke patients recover limb wrist passive movement activates different brain areas: those who recovered well to contralateral sensory motor area (SMC), ipsilateral cerebellum, bilateral supplementary motor area ( SMA) activation were significantly; those of poor recovery, more significant activation of distant sites. activated brain regions in patients and healthy limbs were no significant differences in size. Conclusion contralateral SMC and SMA on the recovery of motor function play a critical role; contralateral compensatory role of hemispheric functional recovery of limb motion a greater impact.

Methods Twenty stroke patients were scanned while they were performing the passive movement tasks with their right and left wrist and SPM2 was adopted to process the fMRI data and to localize the functional areas. Results The area activated in different degree of recorvey were different: for the subject with better recovery, contralateral sensorimotor cortex, ipsilateral cerebellum and bilateral SMA were activated; the patients with relatively bad recovery have significantly activat
