Wallerian degeneration of the corticofugal tracts in chronic stroke: a pilot study relating diffusion tensor imaging, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and hand function.
OBJECTIVE: This study tested the hypothesis that degeneration of the corticofugal tracts (CFTs) is related to poor functional outcome in the upper limb after stroke. METHODS: . The authors used diffusion tensor imaging to determine the degree of white matter integrity of the CFT (FA(AH/UH)) in chro...
