Background: Severity of arm impairment alone does not explain motor outcomes in people with severe impairment post stroke.
Objective: Define the contribution of brain biomarkers to upper limb motor outcomes in people with severe arm impairment post stroke.
Methods: Paretic arm impairment (Fugl-Meyer upper limb, FM-UL) and function (Wolf Motor Function Test rate, WMFT-rate) were measured in 15 individuals with severe (FM-UL ≤ 30/66) and 14 with mild-moderate (FM-UL > 40/66) impairment. Transcranial magnetic stimulation and diffusion weight imaging indexed structure and function of the corticospinal tract and corpus callosum. Separate models of the relationship between possible biomarkers and motor outcomes …
