Segmental motor recovery after cervical spinal cord injury relates to density and integrity of corticospinal tract projections

How the segmental innervation of upper limb muscles recovers after spinal cord injury is not fully understood. Here the authors show associations between corticospinal tract sparing and upper extremity recovery in spinal cord injury.
